Doctor Francois Maelson

Hieronymus Wierix

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man's upper body facing slightly to the right. He has distinct facial features, including a mustache and short, curly hair. He is dressed in a formal outfit with a high ruffled collar, a buttoned coat with patterned fabric, and a decorative bracelet on his wrist. He is holding a rolled document or scroll and the background has a plain backdrop with horizontal lines. At the top, there is a coat of arms, and below is an inscription identifying him as "Doctor Francois Maelson," along with additional text in another language.
