Artist, Flemish, c. 1570 - 1629

The image depicts a man sitting on a horse. The man is upright, facing slightly towards the viewer's right, holding a scepter in his right hand. He has a beard, mustache, curly hair, and a confident expression. He wears armor with a breastplate, cape, leggings, and boots. There are heraldic symbols in the corners, and two figures below the horse. The background shows a rocky landscape with a castle, people, and soldiers on either side near a river or road.
