Richard White of Basingstoke, Hampshire

H. Mortier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper half of a man's body in profile, facing to the right. The man is shown with curly hair and a short, stylized beard, detailed facial features, and wearing a richly decorated garment with an elaborate ruffled collar and patterned fabric. The clothing includes ornamental designs, suggestive of a formal and possibly noble status. Surrounding him is an inscribed circular border with Latin script identifying him as "RICARDUS VITUS BASINSTOCHIUS COMES PALATINUS." The background is plain.
