A Member of the Fröschl Family

Hans Mielich

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a man standing, his body and head slightly turned to the right. He has fair skin, arched eyebrows, round green eyes, a long nose, thin pink lips, a long brown beard, and a thin brown mustache. He wears a black flat-topped cap and a dark robe with puffed sleeves and lacy white details around the cuffs and neck. A gold ring with a green stone is on his left forefinger. He stands next to a wide window with a yellow sill, and in the background there is a landscape with dark green trees, green fields, a rustic house, and a faint person standing next to a horse, all under a blue sky.
