Noblemen from Different Countries

Willem Pietersz Buytewech (mentioned on object), 1615

Both noblemen are fashionably attired in wide, puffy breeches with ribbon garters. The young man holding a plumed hat bears the inscription Frans Edel Man (French nobleman). This, however, was a later addition by the print’s publisher. A French nobleman evidently sold better than an anonymous youth.
