Rubens is not depicted as an artist. He proudly overlooks the Groenplaats and the cathedral. He wears a sword around his waist and in his right hand he holds his wide-brimmed hat. As if to greet some acquaintance or to present himself to one of the many rulers he has met during his diplomatic career. Anyone who does not know the painter and who looks closely at the image knows that Rubens was a painter, his palette lies at his feet.
