William Harvey, M.D.

William Faithorne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust sculpture of a man, depicting only his head and shoulders. The man is positioned with his body turned slightly to the side while his face looks directly forward. His facial features include cheekbones, a straight nose, and a mouth with slightly downturned corners. His hair is of medium length, covering the ears, and appears wavy. The clothing styled on the bust resembles a classical toga or robe. The pedestal has the inscription "GULIELMUS HARVEUS." There is no jewelry. The background has fine parallel lines, creating a textured appearance.
