Claude Mellan

National Gallery of Art

This is a portrait engraving of a man. He is facing slightly to the viewer's right, with curly hair, a receding hairline, a beard, and a mustache. He is wearing an elaborate ruffled collar and a formal garment with a patterned design, possibly a cape. The background consists of fine horizontal lines and the image is framed by an ornate border with text at the bottom in Latin.
