Sir Kenelm Digby

Thomas Cross

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up, slightly angled to the right but gazing directly at the viewer. He has a high forehead with receding curly hair, a narrow chin, a sharp nose, and a small mustache. He is wearing a formal outfit with a white collar and a cloak. Behind him is a shelf with books, and there is text at the bottom identifying him as Sir Kenelme Digby, aged 62, with a description of his status.
