John Bulwer, M.D.

William Faithorne

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is facing forward with his right hand resting on his chest. His facial features include a solemn expression, with well-defined cheekbones, a small mustache, and a beard. His long, wavy hair flows down to his shoulders. He is wearing a dark cloak or robe with a visible collar. The man is framed by an oval shape accentuating his bust. Below the portrait, a decorative cartouche with a written text is present. The background is intricately detailed with a crosshatch pattern.
