Grinling Gibbons, Wood Carver

John Smith after Sir Godfrey Kneller

National Gallery of Art

The image is an illustration of a person from the waist up. The individual is seated with their body slightly turned to the side, looking forward. They have long, curly hair, and wear a long-sleeved garment with wide cuffs and buttons. In their hands, they hold a sculpting tool and rest one hand on a bust resembling a classical sculpture. The background is plain and dark, and the person's name, M. Grinlin Gibbons, is at the bottom in an elegant script.
