Portrait of Henry, Count van den Berghe is a 1604 by Paulus Pontius, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white print of a man in heavy armor. He’s holding a sword in one hand and a glove in the other, looking serious. His face is wrinkled, his beard full, and the armor covers his chest and arms, with a ruffled collar peeking out. The background shows a distant town and hills, but the focus is on the man’s strong posture. The print has fine lines and shading to show details like the armor’s texture and the folds of his clothes. This print is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
