The sitter, Adam Wachendorff, can be identified from the family coat of arms on his watch case. He was the secretary of the London offices of the Hanseatic League, a trading alliance of European cities. The Greek inscription on the original frame (β€˜Man is a soap bubble’) and the naked youth blowing bubbles on the reverse allude to the transience of human life.
