A Humanist, Presumably a portrait of an intellectual from Utrecht painted in half-length view. He sits looking directly at the viewer. On his head he wears a beret. His left hand rests on a small brown dog that lies in front of him while his right hand points to a building in the background. This building may be alluding to the Tower of Babel, for which the supposed sitter wrote commentary on or it may simply be recalling a country or city to which the model traveled.
