Brief Description

Bearded man in black hat and fur coat, with script on panels above and below

Detailed Description

A vertical rectangular portrait depicts a man, with text panels positioned above and below him. The man is depicted from the chest up, angled slightly to the viewer's right, with his gaze directed forward. He has a full, dark brown beard and mustache, and a prominent nose. He wears a black, wide-brimmed hat that covers his ears, a white ruffled collar, and a dark, fur-lined coat. The background behind him is a solid light blue. In the upper left corner, a small, rectangular, gold-colored plaque is affixed to the blue background. It contains dark script that reads: "Johans der Ehl. / Churf. zu Sach. / und Hertzog zu L. etc." Below the man's portrait, a large rectangular panel fills the bottom third of the painting. This panel has a light brown background and is densely covered with dark script arranged in two columns. The script is small and fills the entire panel, extending from the top edge of the panel to its bottom edge.
