Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image features a detailed engraving showing a central bust portrait of a man, facing forward with a serious expression. He has curly hair, a high lace ruff, and wears an ornate garment with a star-shaped emblem on his chest. Surrounding him is an elaborate frame with floral motifs, cherubs, and classical figures. Cherubs adorn the top, and below the portrait is an inscribed scroll with medallion portraits. The background includes classical pillars and intricate detailing.
