The painting showcases Rogier Le Witer, the Grand Almoner of Antwerp, seated with an air of authority and confidence. Le Witer's richly adorned attire reflects his status as a wealthy merchant during the Dutch Golden Age. His elegant lace collar and intricate ruff collar add to his regal appearance, while his hat adds a touch of sophistication. The artist skillfully portrays Le Witer against a backdrop featuring drapery and columns, further emphasizing his importance within society.
