Crispijn de Passe I

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man facing slightly to his left. He has defined facial features, a mustache, and a small pointed beard. His hair is styled back, reaching just past his ears. He is wearing an outfit with a high lace collar and an ornate doublet. In the background, there are two cherubs holding up a crown and a shield with guardsticks. The background is detailed with line work, likely an engraving, and features text beneath the oval border.
