Visual Summary

Brief Description

A bearded man in a dark cap and coat holds a folded object against a teal background

Detailed Description

An oval-shaped portrait depicts a man from the chest upwards, facing forward with a direct gaze. He has fair skin, a reddish-brown beard and mustache, and dark hair visible beneath a dark, flat cap. He wears a white collared shirt with vertical pleats, open at the neck, and a dark, possibly velvet, coat or cloak with a wide, dark collar. His left hand, positioned at the bottom center, holds a small, folded, light-brown object. The background is a plain, dark teal color. Gold lettering appears on the background: "ANNO DOMI 1535" is on the left side, and "ETATIS SVA 28" is on the right side. The entire painting is enclosed within a dark, possibly wooden, oval frame.
