Artist, English, 1590 - 1627

The image is a half-length portrait of a man standing within an ornate oval frame. He is facing the viewer with a calm expression, sporting a pointed beard, mustache, and a cap. He wears a patterned tunic with a high collar, a fur-lined cloak, and holds a sword or staff decorated with intricate designs. Two cherubs with a floral garland flank him, and Latin text encircles him within the frame. The background has fine hatch work, adding texture to the portrait.
