About the piece
This formal portrait from approximately 1600 depicts Cornelius Musius with a serious, contemplative expression. Dressed in a dark robe with a luxurious brown fur collar, he holds a small red 'Psalterivm,' signaling his scholarly and religious devotion, rendered with the meticulous detail characteristic of the Northern European tradition.
