National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraved portrait of a man depicted from the waist up, slightly oriented to the left. He has well-defined facial features, curly hair, a mustache, and a beard. He wears a large lace ruff collar typical of early 17th-century fashion. His clothing is richly detailed with textured fabric, possibly silk, featuring intricate designs. He also wears a round pendant on a chain around his neck and an earring in his left ear. The background is a blank oval frame, surrounded by an outer border inscribed with text.
