Artist, German, c. 1500 - 1569

The image shows a circular portrait of a person with curly hair, positioned in almost profile but looking directly at the viewer. The individual has a well-defined nose, full lips, and large eyes. They wear a detailed garment with visible folds and a high neckline. The portrait is intricately carved with fine lines for depth and detail. The background consists of closely spaced curved lines forming a solid dark backdrop, contrasting with the lighter tone of the person.
