Richard Vaughan, Bishop of London

Willem de Passe and Magdalena de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is facing forward, with distinct features including a nose, cheekbones, and a full beard. He wears a hat with a rounded crown typical of the Renaissance period, along with textured clothing and an undergarment with intricate patterns near the collar. The background is detailed with crosshatching. Text at the bottom likely identifies the individual as Ricardus Vaughanus in Latin.
