Thomas Howard, Second Earl of Arundel and Surrey

Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man from the waist up, facing forward with his head slightly turned to his left. He has sharp facial features, a prominent nose, and a mustache. His hair is styled back with loose curls around the sides. He is wearing elaborate clothing typical of nobility, with a high ruffled collar, ornate doublet, and a medal hanging from a ribbon. The background is decorative with an oval frame around the portrait. There are inscriptions in Latin around the image, and below the portrait is a detailed coat of arms along with descriptive text. The border of the image has a slightly textured, antique appearance.
