Edward Seymour, First Duke of Somerset

Willem de Passe and Magdalena de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man with a pointed nose, beard, mustache, deep-set eyes, and a furrowed brow. He wears a feathered hat, a stately garment with a fur collar, and an ornate medallion around his neck. The background features a circular architectural frame with text around it, and the portrait is done in an engraving style with detailed cross-hatching for a classical aesthetic.
