Jan van de Velde II after Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a man's upper body with his torso angled slightly to the left. His head is turned toward the viewer, showing a prominent nose, a mustache, and wavy hair styled back from his forehead. He has a neutral facial expression and a hint of facial hair on his chin. The man wears a detailed garment with a high ruffled collar and patterned fabric on the sleeves and chest. An ornate oval frame surrounds him, adorned with decorative elements and text describing him. The frame features floral designs, a shield at the top, and intricate engravings in a classic style suggesting formality and artistry of the period.
