National Gallery of Art

This is a portrait showing the upper half of a man's body. The man is positioned facing slightly to the left, with his head turned to look at the viewer. He has an oval face with a prominent mustache, a high forehead, and his hair is short and slicked back, appearing dark in color. The man is dressed in armor with a prominent, wide collar typical of the 17th-century style, and he wears a decorative sash over one shoulder. His right hand is holding a baton or staff, which extends across the lower section of the image. The background is plain with a lined texture, and the portrait is set within an oval frame that contains inscribed text. The outer area of the image also contains additional text beneath the portrait.
