Visual Summary

Brief Description

A head-and-shoulders portrait of a man with a beard and a white ruff, looking forward

Detailed Description

A head-and-shoulders portrait of a man is depicted against a dark, muted background within an oval frame. The man's head is turned slightly to his right, but his gaze is directed straight forward. He has a fair complexion, a short, dark beard, and dark hair with visible graying at the temples. His eyes are dark, and his nose is prominent. Around his neck, he wears a large, white, pleated ruff that stands out against his dark, possibly black, garment. The garment covers his shoulders and chest, with subtle folds visible in the fabric. The background is a dark, neutral tone, appearing slightly lighter behind the man's head and gradually darkening towards the edges of the oval. Faint text is visible on the left side of the background, reading "AET. 40".
