William Marshall

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an engraving of a man from the waist up, facing slightly to the viewer's right. He has shoulder-length, curly hair, a mustache, and a goatee. He is dressed in a detailed doublet with a wide collar featuring lacework. A sash drapes diagonally over his body, and he holds a sword in front of him. The background consists of engraved lines, with an inscription surrounding the portrait. Additionally, there is a small heraldic shield and a depiction of a globe at the corners of the engraving.
