Visual Summary

Brief Description

Head-and-shoulders portrait of an older man with a gaunt face, wearing a dark hat and coat

Detailed Description

The painting is a vertical, head-and-shoulders portrait of an older man, positioned slightly to the viewer's right but looking directly forward. His face is gaunt with prominent cheekbones, a long nose, and thin, downturned lips. Deep lines are visible around his dark eyes and mouth. He wears a dark, possibly fur, hat that covers his ears and the top of his forehead. Light-colored hair is visible beneath the hat, framing his face. His attire consists of a dark, high-collared garment, possibly a coat or cloak, with a lighter-colored collar visible underneath. Three dark, round buttons or clasps are visible on the front of his outer garment. The background is a plain, muted dark color. At the very bottom of the painting, a light-colored band contains an inscription in an old script, which reads: "mu. for. heft. mii. hir. pheranteft. feit. hoe. ir. ghedaeft. had. lebd. iae. fomme. feit. 1532. M."
