About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in fancy clothes. He wears a dark hat with a jewel on it, a ruffled collar, and a chain around his neck. The background is packed with swirling patterns, leaves, and a crown at the top. The text at the bottom names him *Philippe I*, calling him a duke and king. His serious face and detailed outfit suggest he was someone important. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this portrait in person.
