Zebulon

Jan Sadeler I after Crispen van den Broecke

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing on a grassy embankment near the sea. He is standing with one leg bent and the other straight, holding a large red oar in his right hand that rests on the ground. He has a beard and curly, shoulder-length hair, wearing a white cap with gold accents, a red cloak over his shoulders, and a belted tunic. In the background, there is a coastal scene with ships sailing in the water and one onshore. A large anchor is to the right of the man, and in the distance, there is a clear sky with a banner reading "ZEBULON" above him.
