Provost

Jacques de Gheyn II after Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing upright. He has angular facial features, a mustache, and slightly curly hair under a wide-brimmed, feathered hat. He wears a 17th-century outfit, including a tight doublet, layered sleeves, knee-length trousers, and pointed shoes. He holds a sword-like object in his left hand, with a visible scabbard at his waist. In the background, there are four other individuals in historical attire near a building. The scene includes rolling hills and a cloudy sky.
