Christian, Duke of Brunswick

Robert van Voerst after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving of a man from the waist up, posed in a three-quarter view to the right. He has loose, wavy hair that falls to his collar, framing a face with a serious expression, featuring a mustache and fine features. He is dressed in a detailed outfit, wearing armor adorned with studs or rivets and a sash draped over one shoulder, with a large collar that appears to be made of lace. He has a long sword visible by his side that is decorated with an emblem near the hilt. In the background, there are depictions of foliage and clouds, adding a touch of nature and depth to the portrait's setting.
