Artist, German, c. 1595 - 1647

The image shows an oval portrait of a man's upper body. The man is facing forward with a slight turn of his head to the right. He has a mustache and beard, fuller on the chin, short and slightly wavy hair under a wide-brimmed hat with a decoration on the side. He wears a high, ruffled collar, a coat with fur trim over the shoulders, and a chain with circular medallions around his neck. The background is a simple, textured oval frame, and the image is in monochrome.
