Sir Henry Blount, Traveller

David Loggan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed engraving of a man in a head-and-shoulders portrait. He is facing the viewer directly in an oval frame, with sharp facial features including a furrowed brow and slightly downturned mouth. The man has long, curly hair and is dressed in formal attire with a high collar. The background features an intricately designed frame with Latin text "LOQUENDUM CUM VULGO SENTIENDUM CUM SAPIENTIBUS," ornate scrollwork, and a heraldic shield with abstract patterns at the bottom.
