William Faithorne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is facing slightly left, with his gaze towards the viewer. The man has distinct facial features, a beard, and short hair under a cap. He wears a textured garment with a wide ruff collar. He holds a scroll in his left hand. The background has a detailed circular frame with inscriptions, and below is a coat of arms in a shield. The image suggests a formal and dignified subject of historical importance.
