Hugh Latimer, Bishop of Worcester

George Gifford

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an engraving of a man seated from the waist up, facing forward with his arms on a cushion. His head is turned slightly to the left. The man has distinct facial features, including a long beard and high forehead. He wears a cap, a high-collared shirt, fur stole over his shoulders, and voluminous sleeves. He holds an open book in his hands on the cushion. The background is detailed with lines and patterns. Text at the bottom of the image contributes to its historical aesthetic.
