William Faithorne

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraved portrait of a man. He is seated, facing slightly to his left, with his right shoulder forward. His facial features include a long face with high cheekbones, a prominent nose, almond-shaped eyes, and a small mustache. His long, curly hair drapes over his shoulders. He wears a detailed, period-style outfit with a jacket, broad collar with lace detail, and draped outer garment. The background features an oval frame with inscribed text around the portrait and handwritten text below it. The overall style of the engraving is classic and ornate.
