Jan Gruter

Crispijn de Passe I

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man shown from the waist up, seated with his body turned slightly to his left but his face turned towards the viewer. He has a prominent mustache and sharp facial features, with an attentive expression. His hair is short and neatly styled. He is wearing a collared garment with a buttoned vest underneath. There are no visible pieces of jewelry, and he is not holding any objects. The portrait is encircled by an elaborate oval border featuring text, set against a lined background. Below the portrait, there is an inscription with additional decoration, likely in Latin, using an ornate font.
