Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man's upper body, focusing on his head and shoulders. He is seated upright and looking directly forward. His facial features are distinct, with intense eyes, a prominent nose, and a mustache. He is wearing a snug cap covering his hair, a formal robe with a high collar, and a scarf-like garment around his shoulders. There are no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background features an oval frame with text around the edges, set against a lightly speckled plain backdrop.
