Richardi Brownlowe Armigeri

Thomas Cross

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of a man seated, displaying his upper body. He is facing slightly to his left with his gaze directed forward, giving a three-quarter profile view. The man has a distinct facial appearance, with a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. His hair is covered by a hat or cap fitting closely to his head. He wears a voluminous ruffled collar and a dark gown with intricate embroidery or patterned borders. In his left hand, he holds a rolled document, and in his right hand, there is a fan or a brush. The chair he sits on has two finials visible on either side at the top of the backrest. The background features a decorative pattern, possibly wood-paneled or wallpaper.
