Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up, seated with his hands resting on a surface in front of him, with a beard, mustache, cap, and robe. The man has a solemn expression, and his robe has a high ruffled collar, wide sleeves, and decorative patterns. There is an elaborate engraved border with floral motifs and architectural elements around him. The background has a circular frame with Latin inscriptions and two small male figureheads in classical attire in opposite corners of the frame.
