Emperor Matthias

Wolfgang Philipp Kilian

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an upper body portrait of a man from the chest up. He is facing slightly to the right with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has a neatly trimmed mustache and small goatee, a prominent forehead, arched eyebrows, and curly hair. He wears a laurel wreath on his head and is dressed in a detailed outfit with a high lace ruff, fur-lined cape, and a chain with a pendant around his neck. The portrait is within an oval frame with an inscription, set against a background of hatch patterns. Below the oval, there is a block of text in elegant writing.
