Solon Salaminius

Jacques de Gheyn III

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man walking up a flight of steps. He is in a three-quarter profile, holding a helmet with a plume covering his face. He wears classical clothing, including a skirt-like garment, a cape draped over his left shoulder, and sandals. The man carries a shield in his left hand and a sword at his waist. In the background are architectural elements like columns and more steps, with another helmet on the ground next to the steps.
