George Calvert, Lord Baltimore

Abraham Blooteling

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraved portrait of a man's upper body. He is in a three-quarter pose, with his left arm resting on a surface. His head is slightly turned towards the viewer, emphasizing his facial features. He has wavy, shoulder-length hair, a distinct nose, and expressive eyes. He is dressed in a formal garment with a large collar and cape, suggesting prominence and formality. The man wears a doublet with patterned fabric and a sash across his chest, and he holds gloves in his right hand. Beneath the portrait is a coat of arms with a shield flanked by mythical creatures and surrounded by text. The background includes a curtain-like drapery and an outdoor scene with hills and a sky in the far left corner.
