This anonymous woodcut portrait of Gilbertus Lymborck, dated 1568-1587, shows the subject in a three-quarter profile with a beard and a flat cap, holding a book in his left hand. The inscription below reveals that Lymborck was a doctor, skilled in medicine and known for his expertise in the works of Avicenna. This small-scale engraving, measuring 142mm by 87mm, likely served as an illustration for a book or other printed document, providing a visual representation of this important medical figure.
