Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford

Charles Simonneau after Adriaen van der Werff after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image features a portrait of Thomas Wentworth from the chest upwards, looking over his right shoulder in a three-quarter view. He has a mustache, goatee, curly medium-length hair, and wears an elaborate armor with a high collar. The circular frame background has cloud-like patterns, and there is a plinth with a draped cloth, sculpted bust, and the inscription "Thomas Wentworth" below the portrait. The composition is in monochrome tones, typical of engravings.
