Alexander Morus

Crispijn de Passe II

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up, seated in a slightly turned position. He has a full face with a mustache and a small goatee, shoulder-length curly hair, and is wearing a traditional 17th-century outfit with a dark robe featuring a white collar and cuffs. His right hand is resting on his chest while his left hand is placed on what looks like the edge of a table or a chest covered with a patterned cloth. There are no visible pieces of jewelry on him, nor any objects he appears to be holding. The background includes draped curtains on the left and a detailed wall surface to the right. Text beneath the image contextualizes the portrait.
