National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in clerical attire seated in an ornate chair. He is in a slightly turned position, with one arm resting on the chair and the other hand gesturing or resting on a surface. He has a round face, a double chin, large eyes, and styled curly hair. He wears a cape with decorative shoulder piece, a ruffled shirt with lace cuffs, and multiple necklaces. The background includes a draped curtain and intricate details that suggest a stained glass window and a book.
