Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man with a mustache and short, neat hair facing to his left, holding a book. He is wearing clerical attire from an earlier period with a high collar, possibly including a ruff, under a dark outer garment resembling a robe or cloak with wide sleeves. The background is plain, with the man framed by inscriptions and two emblems or coat of arms. A caption states he is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
