Thomas Wolsey, Cardinal

Willem de Passe and Magdalena de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image features an engraving of a man shown from the waist up, positioned in profile facing left with crossed arms. He has distinct facial features, a traditional cardinal's attire with a biretta and cloak. The background consists of horizontal lines, and there is a caption identifying the man as Thomas Wolsey with a Latin inscription. The aged page appears to come from a book.
