Theodor Galle after Jan van der Straet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the chest up. He is positioned in a half-length side profile, facing to the left. The man's facial features include a prominent nose, a thoughtful expression, and a curly beard. He has curly hair peeking out from under a headband. He is wearing a draped garment. His right hand is resting on a ledge or railing in front of him, with the fingers partially curled. The portrait is framed by an oval border, with text written along its edges. The background inside the frame is plain.
