Pieter Claesz Soutman after Gerrit van Honthorst

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a black and white portrait showing the upper body of a man in historical attire. He has a long, narrow face with pronounced cheekbones, a pointed beard, and a mustache. The man has wavy, shoulder-length hair. He is dressed in richly adorned armor with ornate decorations on the shoulders and a fabric scarf across his chest. The man is not wearing jewelry or holding any objects. The background features an oval frame with decorative text surrounding the portrait, situated within a rectangular piece of paper with script at the bottom. The style suggests a classical print or engraving.
