William, First Duke of Newcastle

Lucas Emil Vorsterman

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a portrait of a man with only his shoulders and head visible. He is facing slightly to the right while his body is turned slightly to the left. The man has a long face with strong cheekbones, a narrow mustache, and wavy hair that falls to his shoulders. He is wearing a high-collared shirt with a large decorative ruffle and a doublet or coat detailed on the shoulders and chest. Two decorative loops hang from his clothing at the shoulders, and he wears a medallion around his neck. The background consists of an oval frame with Latin text surrounding the portrait, engraved in a textured pattern.
