Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of a man from the chest upwards. He is facing forward, slightly turned to his right. The man has a beard and wrinkles around his eyes, with his hair covered by a flat cap. He is wearing a 16th-century robe with a ruffled collar and a cloak with patterns. He holds a small book. The background features an engraved cityscape with buildings and towers along a riverside. The image is framed by an ornate border with Latin text around the portrait.
