Gunpowder Plot

after Crispijn de Passe I

National Gallery of Art

The image shows ten men standing closely together from the waist up. They face each other and appear to be engaged in a discussion. Each man wears a wide-brimmed hat with various decorations. Their facial features include beards or mustaches, and their hair is styled in long, wavy patterns. The men wear period attire reminiscent of Elizabethan or Jacobean styles. The scene likely takes place indoors, as no distinct background is visible. The men's hands are visible, with some gesturing or resting. The text below the image is in Latin and may provide context or identification for the men.
