Christoffel van Sichem I

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man standing upright. He is posed with his head slightly turned to the right, his left hand on his hip and his right hand holding a long rod or baton. The man has short, curly hair and a neatly groomed beard. He wears intricately designed armor covering his whole body, including a high lace ruff around his neck and armored boots. He has a calm expression. Beside him, a large shield with a coat of arms rests on the ground. The background shows a detailed scene of a battle or military encampment, with troops and structures.
