Thomas de Leu

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man. He is facing forward with his upper torso slightly angled to the left. His face is round with pronounced cheekbones, a slightly furrowed brow, a defined nose, and thin lips. The man has short, receding hair and wears a high-collared garment under a dark outer coat that has light-colored fabric in the sleeves. The portrait is set within an oval frame with Latin text around it. In the background, there is a detailed pattern. A coat of arms is in the top right corner and there is additional text below the oval frame.
