Christoffel van Sichem I

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving of a man in historical attire. The man is depicted in a formal pose, facing slightly to his left with his head turned towards the viewer. He has a pointed beard and mustache, styled in a distinguished manner, and short, wavy hair. The man is wearing a high lace collar and a buttoned doublet with detailed embroidery. There is no visible jewelry on him, and he is not holding any objects. The background consists of a simple, patterned design with inscriptions surrounding the oval frame. The engraving is set within a larger rectangular framework with additional text at the bottom.
