James Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh

William Marshall

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait showing a man depicted from the waist up, sitting upright behind a table. The man has an aged face with a prominent nose, focused eyes, a white beard, and a mustache. He is wearing a cap on his head and a ruff collar around his neck. His attire includes a dark robe with broad sleeves. He has one hand resting on an open book and is pointing to a line on the page with his other hand. The background features columns, drapery, and an emblem in the top left corner. The image appears to be an engraving or etching, given its detailed line work and shading.
