This three-quarter-length seated portrait is of Ludovicus Nonnius (about 1553-1645/6), a doctor from a Portuguese family who worked in Antwerp. The book he holds and the objects surrounding him refer to his accomplishments. The sitter wrote a number of works, including the Diaeteticon (1627), a study of diet as an important factor for good health, which was based upon the eating habits of the ancient Romans. The presence of the bust of Hippocrates (the Greek founder of medicine) identifies his profession and his respect for Antiquity - a vital aspect of contemporary learning.
The portrait is dated to the late 1620s on grounds of style. It was probably painted shortly before Rubens\'s diplomatic journeys of 1628-30, and may date from the year of publication of the Diaeteticon, which could be the book the sitter holds.
The bust is based upon a drawing after the antique by the artist which was the subject of an engraving by Schelte à Bolswert of 1638.
