Artist, Dutch, 1580 - 1638

The image shows a portrait of a man's upper body. He is seated and facing slightly to the right while making eye contact with the viewer. He has a short, neatly trimmed beard and mustache, and closely cropped hair. He is wearing a formal garment with a high, pleated ruff collar and a fur-trimmed cloak. The background has an ornate oval frame decorated with elaborate scrollwork and the inscription "IOHANNES U TENN BOGAERT" along with additional text around the edge. The artwork suggests a historical context with decorative elements typical of portrait engravings, such as the intricate border and stylized frame details.
