National Gallery of Art

This image shows a portrait of a man with long, wavy hair falling to his shoulders. He is facing forward in a three-quarter pose, wearing detailed and ornate period armor. The armor includes metal plates covering his shoulders and chest. The background consists of cross-hatching lines forming an oval frame around the subject. There are no visible accessories, jewelry, or objects in the image. A caption beneath the portrait identifies the man in a formal or authoritative position.
