Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The detailed portrait depicts a man seated facing slightly to the right. He has a pronounced forehead, deep-set eyes, a mustache, and a pointed beard. The man is wearing a hat, ruffled collar, robe with puffed sleeves, and decorative cuffs. He holds a scroll or paper in one hand, with the other hand visible against his clothing. A decorative border with text and scrollwork surrounds the image, and a coat of arms is at the top within the border. The background features an intricate engraving pattern.
