Paul de Vos was a painter. He is seen here in portrait from the waist up. He wears a tall, wide collar with a costume that buttons up the chest and contains a cloak. He holds his left hand out past the image margin into the text field. This is from the Gillis Hendricx edition of the Iconography (Icones Principum Virorum Doctorum, Pictorum Chalcographorum Statuorum nec non Amatorum Pictoriae Artis Numero Centum), 1632-44.
