Francis Delaram

National Gallery of Art

The engraving depicts a man standing with a confident posture. He is holding a horn, with his right hand at his waist. The man has a large nose, thin lips, and prominent eyes. He wears a feathered cap, a robe with a chain, a doublet with "H R" embroidered on it, puffed sleeves, and a bow-tied sash around his waist. The background shows a busy village scene with people interacting and buildings and trees.
