Portrait of a Bearded Man with a Beret

Heinrich Aldegrever

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a close-up illustration of a man's face, focusing on his head and part of his shoulders. The man's head is turned slightly to the side, showcasing his strong, prominent nose, expressive eyes, high cheekbones, and relaxed mouth. He has a full beard, mustache, and slightly curly hair peeking from under his cap. The man is wearing a simple cap and a hint of a shirt collar is visible around his neck. The background is a plain, light surface with subtle stains.
