Robert White

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an engraving of a man from the chest up. He is positioned facing slightly to the right with his head turned toward the viewer. He has long, curly hair that reaches his shoulders and frames his face. His facial features include a strong jawline, a straight nose, and direct gaze. He is wearing an elaborately patterned necktie and a garment typical of the late-17th century, with visible layers and intricate designs. The scene is framed within an ornate border with scrollwork and cherubic figures. The background is dark, highlighting the details of the man's attire and the frame. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held by the man.
