National Gallery of Art

This image depicts a portrait of a man from the waist up within an oval frame. The man faces slightly left and has medium-length, light, wavy hair styled back, a neat mustache, and a small beard. He wears an elaborate outfit with a high lace collar, a detailed jacket with armor-like elements, and a sash across his chest. His right hand rests on his hip and the background features a crest with heraldic symbols. A Latin inscription surrounds the oval frame, and the lower portion includes a description identifying the man as Henry Rich, Earl of Holland.
