Jacques de la Faille

Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the knees up, facing slightly to the left. He has a beard, neat short hair, and strong facial features. The man wears an elaborate garment with a high collar, puffed sleeves, a belt with decorations, and a cape. In his left hand, he holds a helmet, and in his right hand, he grasps the hilt of a sword on the ground. The background features armory details, weapons, two smaller figures, and a tent-like structure at the top.
