National Gallery of Art

The image features a man in a seated position within an oval frame of leaves. His face is visible, showing a prominent nose, a small mustache, a goatee, and medium-length wavy hair. He wears a formal robe and has one hand near his chest. Two figures flank him, each holding part of the leafy oval. On the left, a female figure holds a sword and wears a crown and an embellished gown. On the right, another female figure wears a hat and holds a small statue. The background has horizontal lines for texture. Below the portrait is a plaque with text, including the name "W. Marshall sculps" and the year "1640."
