National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up seated with his body facing right, holding a book in his right hand on a stand. He has a stern facial expression and is looking directly at the viewer. His hair is shoulder-length, wavy, brown, and he has a mustache and a small goatee. He is wearing a dark robe with a white ruff collar typical of 17th-century fashion. The background is a dark texture that emphasizes the subject. A border surrounds the image with script at the bottom indicating the man’s name and likely some biographical information.
