Crispijn van de Passe I

Artist, Dutch, c. 1565 - 1637

The image depicts a person from the waist up, facing slightly to the right but looking directly at the viewer. The individual has curly, shoulder-length hair and a calm expression. They wear a garment with a lace collar and decorative trim, possibly a buttoned vest over a shirt, with a sash draped across their shoulder and a small brooch pinned to it. The border includes text reading “HENRICUS WALLIAE PRINCEPS,” surrounded by ornamental elements like crowns and heraldic symbols. The background is ornate with engravings, including a lion on the left and a dragon's tail on the right. Below the portrait is a block of Latin text followed by the name "Crispin van de Pas."
