Justus Lipsius was a philosopher. He is seen here in portrait from the waist up, slightly angled to the right, looking away from the viewer. He wears a ruff and a fur lined jacket. His right hand rests inside the cover of a book as he gestures with his left hand. This is from the Gillis Hendricx edition of the Iconography (Icones Principum Virorum Doctorum, Pictorum Chalcographorum Statuorum nec non Amatorum Pictoriae Artis Numero Centum), made between 1632-44.
