Willem de Passe and Magdalena de Passe

National Gallery of Art

This is an engraving showing an upper-body portrait of a man facing slightly to his right. The man has a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, with a prominent nose and light-colored hair. He is wearing a detailed garment with a high collar, covered by a fur-lined cloak, and a lace collar around his neck. The oval frame surrounding the portrait includes the inscription "RICHARDVS GRENVILVS" and some Latin text at the bottom. The background has a crosshatched pattern for depth, and there is a textured border outside the oval frame.
