Sir Henry Wotton, Diplomatist and Poet

Pierre Lombard

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a person from the waist up. The individual is seated, leaning on their right arm with their head in their hand. They have a full beard and mustache, and neatly combed hair. They are wearing an elaborate garment with a fur collar, embroidery on the sleeves, and a high, ruffled collar. There is no visible jewelry or objects in their hands. The background has a textured or patterned surface with drapery on the top left. The words "PHILOSOPHEMVR" are on the left side and a circular emblem with a heart shape is on the lower part of the image.
