Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in clerical attire from a three-quarter view. He has distinct facial features, including a mustache and goatee, curly hair partially covered by a cap, and is holding a small book. He is posed with his left hand on his chest and his right hand holding the book. The man wears a dark robe with a large white collar and cuffs typical of 17th-century clerical attire. In the background, there is a draped curtain on the left side. Below the portrait, there is text identifying the man as "Mr. Sydrach Simpson" with details about his roles and the book's printer.
