Portret van de componist Orlando di Lasso (1532-1594) ten halve lijve naar links, binnen een ovalen kader met inscriptie. Di Lasso heeft kort krullend haar, een baardje en een snor. Hij draagt een jasje met een kanten kraag en een medaillon aan een ketting om zijn hals. Hij kijkt naar links, voor zich uit, terwijl hij een opengeslagen boek in zijn handen heeft. In het boek zijn muzieknoten geschreven, als verwijzing naar zijn beroep. In de inscriptie rond het portret wordt zijn beroep ook vermeld. Rond de lijst zijn bovenaan twee fabelwezens met een boek in hun handen weergegeven, en onderaan eekhoorntjes die op de steeltjes van bloemen zitten. In een kader onder de voorstelling is een tweeregelige Latijnse tekst gedrukt.
De prent werd gebruikt als illustratie in een boek over belangrijke mannen uit de geschiedenis. Dit boek, Icones Illustrum Virorum, werd in 1598 uitgegeven door Jan Theodor de Bry, die tevens de prentmaker was. De teksten werden geschreven door Jean-Jacques Boissard, een Neo-Latijns dichter.

Thank you for your interest in visiting the Sint-Janshuismolen. We would like to inform you about the limited capacity of the mill.
The Sint-Janshuismolen is not very large, and for safety reasons, we can only accommodate a maximum of 25 students per half hour. To ensure that all students can explore the mill, we will divide the class into two or three groups on-site.
A part of the group will have the opportunity to view the mill from the outside, while the other part can actually enter the mill. After a certain time, the groups will switch so that everyone has a chance to see and experience everything.
We want to ensure that all students have a valuable and educational experience during their visit to the Sint-Janshuismolen. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in following this arrangement.
Attention: you might be paying too much
