Robert Hart after Sir Peter Lely

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an engraving of a man from the chest up, in a semi-profile view, looking slightly to his right. He has long, wavy hair that extends past his shoulders, prominent facial features, and is wearing a dark cloak with a visible white collar. The circular engraving is centered on a larger rectangular paper with a border. Below the image, there is text including the name "Selden" and publishing details. The background of the frame is plain with some discolored spots on the paper around the engraving.
