Visual Summary

Brief Description

Black and white portrait of a bearded man in a dark hat, with text and a crest.

Detailed Description

A black and white portrait depicts a man from the chest up, positioned slightly to the right but looking directly forward. He has a light-toned face with prominent eyes, a straight nose, and a dark, short beard and mustache. His dark hair is visible beneath a dark, flat-topped hat. He wears dark clothing, possibly a coat or tunic, with a subtle light-colored collar visible at his neck. The background is uniformly dark. In the upper left corner, white text reads: "ROMÆ 1540. MEN. MAR." In the upper right corner, more white text reads: "'ETA. Æ. 8." Below this text, a small, dark crest or shield is visible, featuring a patterned design that appears to be quartered with different symbols. The composition focuses on the man's direct gaze.
