Jan Sadeler I after Crispen van den Broecke

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing confidently, with a robust build, muscles, and a full beard. He wears an ornate helmet with a large, colorful plume and a short blue skirt-like garment. A red cape drapes over his shoulders, leaving his upper body exposed. He holds a sword, pointing downwards, with armor pieces on the ground nearby. The background shows a landscape with a winding river, greenery, and a distant castle, under a lightly cloudy sky.
