National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraved portrait of a man. He is depicted from the upper half of his body, slightly turned to the side, with a solemn expression. The man has distinct facial features, a mustache, and shoulder-length wavy hair. He wears an ornate garment with a large collar and coat adorned with buttons. The portrait is surrounded by an intricate oval frame with four illustrative panels at the corners, each showing different scenes and Latin inscriptions. The top of the frame features an angel emblem, while the bottom has a crest with shield and scrollwork. The background is detailed with elaborate line work.
