Brief Description

Waist-up portrait of a man in a black cap and fur coat, with a book and paper

Detailed Description

A waist-up portrait depicts a man with light skin, light brown hair, and a straight nose, looking slightly to the viewer's right. He wears a black cap, a black coat with a fur collar, and a white ruffled shirt. A gold ring is visible on his right hand, which is clasped over his left hand on a green tabletop. He holds a small, light brown object in his clasped hands. The background is a solid, deep blue. Gold text on the left reads "ANNO.1532." and on the right, "ÆTATIS. SVÆ. 29.". On the green table to the left, a small, dark brown book with gold clasps and a gold-edged page is open. A white piece of paper is tucked into the book, with handwritten text partially visible, reading "in meo omni spe".
