Brief Description

Half-length portrait of an older man in a dark hat and tunic, looking left, within an arch

Detailed Description

A half-length, black and white portrait depicts an older man facing left, with his head slightly turned and eyes gazing to the left. He has light-toned skin, a prominent nose, and full cheeks. Short, dark hair is visible beneath a dark, flat-topped hat. He wears a dark tunic or robe with a white collar that features a small, intricate decorative element at the center of the V-neck. The background is uniformly dark. At the top center of the arched frame, the inscription ".1521." is visible. On the right side, near the man's shoulder, a small, indistinct crest or emblem is present. Along the bottom edge of the frame, a partially visible inscription includes the number "69" and other faint, illegible text.
