Willem Outgertsz Akersloot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing confidently with one foot on a pedestal, holding a sword in his right hand and resting his left hand on his hip. He has a mustache and short curly hair, and wears an elaborate suit of armor with a large ruff collar around his neck. The armor is adorned with ornate patterns and a sash across the chest. Beside him, a sculptured pedestal supports a helmet with a feathered crest. Shields with coats of arms are displayed on a stand beside him. The background features intricate buildings and people in motion, along with a partly cloudy sky with birds.
