Visual Summary

Brief Description

A bearded man in a white ruff, looking forward, within an oval frame

Detailed Description

A man is depicted from the chest up within an oval shape, which is set against a rectangular, reddish-brown background. He faces slightly to his right but looks directly forward. He has light skin, a prominent reddish-blonde beard and mustache, and light brown hair that is receding at the temples. His eyes are light-colored. He wears a black garment, possibly a cloak or coat, over a white shirt. Around his neck is a large, white, ruffled collar, or ruff, intricately folded and textured. His right hand, with fingers slightly curled, rests on a dark, folded piece of fabric or a tassel at the bottom center of the oval. The background within the oval is a plain, muted greenish-grey. To the right of his head, within the oval, faint light-colored text reads "A° ETATIS". Below his right hand, near the bottom right edge of the oval, faint light-colored text reads "1626". A faint "H" is visible to the left of his hand. The oval frame is a warm, reddish-brown, matching the outer rectangular border.
