Cornelis Boel

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving featuring a central bust portrait of an individual within an ornate oval frame. The person depicted has a youthful appearance with short, neatly styled hair, fine facial features, and wears a ruffled lace collar and detailed armor. Flanking the oval frame are two figures; one on the left is a warrior with a helmet and spear, while the figure on the right is draped in flowing garments. Above the portrait are two cherubs, one holding a circular emblem under a decorative drapery, and a columned structure in the background. Below the portrait is a Latin inscription.
