A Doge of Venice

Robert Vaughan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up, with a slightly turned body and his face towards the viewer. He has a long, pointed beard and mustache, with older features, and wears a decorative, domed headdress. He is clothed in a patterned robe with a high collar, buttons down the front, and holds a rolled document in his right hand. The background features a frame with scrolling foliage and decorative elements, with an emblem at the top showing a winged lion holding a book.
