National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man, displayed from the chest up. He faces slightly to his right, with his face turned towards the viewer. The man has long, wavy hair that falls to his shoulders and a facial expression with a furrowed brow and slightly pursed lips. He wears an engraved armored suit with shoulder armor featuring rivets and an ornate design near the neck. An oval frame surrounds the man, part of a larger rectangular decorative background with intricate detailing. Below the portrait, there is a plaque with textual elements and a coat of arms, adding to the ornamentation of the image.
