"Hans Onvertsaeght" and "Koen Slock-speck"

Johannes and Lucas van Doetechum after Pieter Bruegel the Elder

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two oval-framed portraits of a man. One portrait shows him in a semi-profile view, while the other displays a more frontal perspective. The man has distinct facial features, including a noticeable nose, deep-set eyes, and visible lines and wrinkles. He has curly hair under a cap and wears a garment with a collar. The portraits are set against a background of horizontal lines and are rendered in a monochromatic, etched style on a paper-like surface.
