Artist

The image shows a man from the waist up. He is facing forward with his right hand raised to his chest, fingers relaxed. The man has a goatee, a well-groomed mustache, and appears to have receding hair covered by a large brimmed hat with feathers. He wears a fur-collared cloak with an ornate chain over it, a high-collared shirt with lace edging at the cuffs. The background is a lined texture that contrasts with the figure in the foreground.
