Tobias Matthew, D.D., Archbishop of York

Renold Elstrack

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a seated man. He is looking directly at the viewer with a calm expression. The man has a long, full beard and mustache, with dark hair partly covered by a cap. He is wearing a clerical or academic gown with a high ruffled collar and a broad-brimmed hat. His attire includes a long robe with wide sleeves, and his hands are folded across a book or document in front of him. The portrait is framed within an ornate oval border with cherubic figures, angels, and floral motifs. Above the oval is a decorative crest. The background features intricate engravings, Latin inscriptions, and suggests a formal, historical setting.
