Artist, German, 1660 - 1736

A portrait of an elderly man shown from the waist up. He is positioned facing slightly to the right, with his left hand resting on his hip and his right hand holding a walking cane. His facial features include a long face with prominent cheekbones and a pronounced nose. He has curly, shoulder-length hair that frames his face and a full head of hair. The man is wearing a dark-colored coat with buttons and a lace cravat at the neck. His sleeves are decorated with embroidery and lace cuffs. A sash is tied around his waist. The coat has buttons and decorative elements on the right side. The background shows an oval frame with an inscribed border, set against a textured surface. Above the frame sits a ribbon, and below is an ornate plinth featuring a heraldic crest with a shield and decorative scrollwork. The background details and text around the portrait provide formal context.
