Artist, Dutch, 1594/1595 - c. 1670

This is a historical drawing of a man showing his upper body. The man is positioned facing slightly towards his left, with a gaze directed at the viewer. He has medium-length wavy hair that frames his face, and facial features that include a prominent nose and a serious expression. His attire consists of a dark, formal-looking garment with a high collar and buttons down the front. The background is a simple engraved design with an oval frame surrounding the man's portrait. Text in Latin encircles the portrait within the frame, and additional text is present below the portrait. The detailed engraving suggests the drawing dates back to a historic period.
