Algeron Percy, 10th Earl of Northumberland

Cornelis van Dalen I

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person depicted from the waist up, positioned with their body slightly turned to the side while their head faces forward, looking directly at the viewer. The person has distinctive facial features with pronounced eyebrows, a well-groomed mustache, and long wavy hair that falls over the shoulders. They are dressed in a dark garment with a detailed, ruffled white collar. The person is encased within an ornate oval frame that bears inscriptions and decorative elements. Around this frame are additional embellishments, including the figure of a bearded man holding a trident and a seated figure of a woman. In the background, several ships sail on the sea under a cloud-filled sky.
