Willem de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person depicted from the chest up, facing the viewer. The individual has curly hair, styled off the forehead. The facial features include sharp eyebrows, a rounded nose, and slightly pursed lips. They are wearing detailed and ornate attire, including a ruffled collar and elaborate garments. The oval frame surrounding the portrait has inscriptions in Latin. Below the portrait, a decorative section contains intricate designs like a shield, helmet, and a central motif of a tree with the word "DAMNOSA" above it. The background has cross-hatched textures, adding to the depth and detail of the engraving.
