John Harington, Second Baron of Exton

Willem de Passe and Magdalena de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man with distinct facial features. He is positioned slightly turned to his left but looking at the viewer, displaying his upper body, including his shoulders and head. The man has fair complexion, arched eyebrows, and a long, pointed nose. His medium-length, wavy hair is styled upwards. He is dressed in a ruffled collar typical of the period and a buttoned-up garment with a high neckline. The oval frame around the portrait includes text that reads "IOHANNES Haringtonus Baro de Exton." The background has detailed lines for texture, and there is additional text in a classical typeface below the image within the frame. The portrait is set against an off-white paper background, hinting at it being a historical print or illustration.
