Description

The style of the costume indicates that this portrait probably depicts an Englishman, painted in England, most likely by an artist from the Netherlands. Details of the clothing and the hilt of the sword suggest the picture was painted between 1610 and 1615.
A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a man with light skin tone and dark, wavy hair standing against a solid, dark background. He wears a lustrous black doublet with fine gold buttons and a stiff, flared white collar. His right hand rests on his hip, while his left holds a gold sword hilt. Voluminous breeches patterned with horizontal wavy gold lines complete his attire. A plumed hat sits on a green-draped table.
