Thomas Osborne, First Duke of Leeds

Abraham Blooteling after Sir Peter Lely

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving featuring an upper-body portrait of a man in an oval frame. The man's body is forward-facing with a slight angle, showing a partial three-quarters view of his face. His facial features include a distinct nose and a slightly solemn expression. He has long, curly hair flowing over his shoulders and wears a high-collared garment with patterned details. There is no visible jewelry or objects. The background consists of straight, vertical lines contrasting with the busy texture of the hair. Below the portrait is a plaque with the man's name and title, "Thomas Osborne, Earl of Danby, Lord High Treasurer of England," along with artist and engraver credits. The overall presentation suggests a formal style typical of historical engravings.
