Willem Hondius, after Daniel Mytens the Elder

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a portrait of a man, depicted from the chest up. He is facing slightly to the right but looking directly at the viewer. The man has a mustache, a small goatee, short groomed hair, and a slightly receding hairline. He is wearing a detailed outfit with a high, ruffled collar made of a rich fabric, potentially lace or fur. The elaborate clothing features intricate patterns, suggesting high status. He accessorizes with a chain and a medallion around his neck. The background is textured, and the portrait is set within an oval frame with inscriptions. Additional text below the portrait implies an engraved or printed artwork.
