Aegidius Sadeler II

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust portrait of an individual, capturing the figure from the chest upwards. The person is positioned facing slightly toward the right of the image. He has a thoughtful expression with defined facial features, including a prominent nose and a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. His hair appears to be short and is largely concealed by a distinct, wide-brimmed dark cap. He is dressed in formal, traditional attire that includes a high-collared garment. The background consists of fine lines creating a simple textured backdrop. There is a block of text below the image.
