Brief Description

Bust-length portrait of a bearded man in a dark fur hat, blue-green background, with text band

Detailed Description

This bust-length portrait depicts a man turned slightly to his left, with his gaze directed to the left. He has light skin, light-colored eyes, and a prominent nose. A full, dark brown beard covers his chin and cheeks, connecting to short, dark hair visible under his hat. He wears a large, fluffy, dark brown fur hat with a dark, possibly braided, band visible underneath. His attire consists of a dark, likely black, garment, possibly fur-lined, with a small white collar visible at his neck. The background is a solid, uniform blue-green color. Across the bottom of the painting, a light, off-white band contains two lines of black text in a gothic-style font. The text reads: "DA MAN • 1517 • ZALT • SEBASTIAᴺ WAS ICH • 48 • IAR ALT ANNDORFE ER". The "N" in "SEBASTIAN" is small and raised.
