Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving featuring a man from the waist up. He is seated, facing slightly to the left with a straight expression. He has a prominent mustache and pointed beard. He wears a wide-brimmed hat with a large decoration, a decorative jacket, a high ruff collar, and lace cuffs. One of his hands holds the hilt of a sword or staff. The man is enclosed in an ornate oval frame with decorative scrollwork, text identifying him, and a crest at the top. The background has a textured pattern, and text at the bottom provides information about the man's identity and titles.
