A young person in ornate armor and a white ruff stands beside a plumed helmet
This black and white portrait depicts a young person standing in an elaborate setting. The figure, positioned slightly to the right of center, has a pale face with dark, short hair and looks directly forward. A multi-layered white ruff encircles their neck, contrasting with their dark attire. They wear a highly decorated suit of armor, featuring intricate patterns and possibly metallic accents, covering their torso and arms. Below the waist, their breeches are full and pleated, adorned with a repeating pattern. A sword with a decorative hilt hangs from a patterned belt at their left hip. The figure's right hand rests on a long, dark staff or cane, while their left hand is placed on their hip. To the left of the figure, on a dark surface, sits an ornate helmet topped with a tall, feathery plume that extends upwards. Dark, draped fabric forms the background, with folds visible behind the figure and to the right. The lighting emphasizes the figure's face and the details of their clothing and the helmet.
