Justus Lipsius, Historian

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up, seated with his body oriented to the left and his gaze slightly to the right. He has a solemn expression, a mustache, and a full beard. His hair is short and neatly combed. He is wearing a formal striped doublet with a high, ruffled collar and puffed sleeves. His right arm rests on the chair's armrest, while his left hand is near an open book and a feather quill on the table in front of him. The background is plain with horizontal lines, and there is Latin text at the bottom of the image.
