National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man shown from the waist up. His facial features include a prominent mustache and short, curly hair. He is wearing a dark suit of armor with a high, white collar visible beneath it. His left hand is extended outward, palm facing up. The background is a lightly textured surface. The artwork appears to be an engraving. A cursive inscription below includes text identifying him as St. Thomas Wentworth, the Earl of Strafford, Lieutenant General, and General Governor of Ireland, dated at the bottom.
