This portrait shows a man with a long, curly beard and hair, wearing a fur-trimmed coat. He holds a book in his hands, with his right hand on top and his left hand on the bottom. The man looks to the right, with a serious expression. In the top-right corner, there is a crest with a snake wrapped around it. The background of the portrait is a light beige color. The portrait is an engraving, which is a technique used to create detailed images. The artist who created this portrait is Hendrick Goltzius.
