Sir George Croke

Robert Gaywood

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a portrait of a man from the waist up, facing slightly to his left. He has a serious expression, a high forehead, a pointed chin, and short, receding hair that extends to facial hair. The man is wearing a dark cap and a formal outfit with a ruffled collar. One of his hands is holding a folded object. The engraving around him includes Latin text, decorative elements, and what appears to be a family crest with a helmet and crest. In the background, there is an ornate oval frame with the name "Gorgii Croke" and books or scrolls below.
