Sir John Ogle

William Faithorne

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait showing the upper body of a man who appears to be from an earlier historical period. He is looking directly at the viewer, with a high forehead and facial hair, including a beard and mustache. He is dressed in formal attire with a ruffled collar and a garment featuring metallic stud details. The background features an oval-shaped frame with additional linear patterns. Below the portrait, the name "St. JOHN OGLE" and his title "Lieutenant Colonel to Sr. Francis Vere" are inscribed.
