Black and white portrait of a man in a ruff, feathered hat, and ornate jewelry
A black and white, head-and-shoulders portrait depicts a man whose head is turned slightly to the right, with his gaze directed forward. His light-toned face is framed by short, dark hair and a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. He has dark eyes, a straight nose, and his lips are closed. He wears a large, white, pleated ruff with a delicate lace pattern around his neck. Above his forehead, a dark, wide-brimmed hat is adorned with a prominent feather plume and a small, ornate jewel at its base. His dark garment, visible from the chest up, features vertical stripes. A large, elaborate jewel is suspended from a chain or ribbon at the center of his chest. This jewel consists of two rectangular, faceted stones set in ornate metalwork, connected by a short bar. The background is a plain, dark tone, providing a stark contrast to the man's features and attire. The man's shoulders fill the lower portion of the frame, with his head centered in the upper half.
