Artist, German, 1624 - 1657

The image shows a half-length portrait of an older man facing slightly to the right and looking forward. The man has a mustache, beard, and a bald head. He wears a large ruff around his neck, a velvety garment with intricate patterns and fur trim on the shoulders. A chain with a medallion hangs on his chest. In his right hand, he holds gloves, and in his left hand, he grips the hilt of a sword. The background features architectural elements like columns. The portrait is surrounded by decorative borders with heraldic shields and Latin text above and below the image, all framed in an ornate style typical of the period.
