About This Work
The sitter is shown in a three-quarter view wearing a detailed doublet and a prominent ruff collar. This 18th-century engraving was created after an earlier 16th-century drawing, capturing the military and aristocratic character of a figure from the Dutch Revolt. The portrait is mounted on a pedestal-like base that contains the title and credits for the original drawing and the engraver.
