William, Earl of Craven

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a man standing upright and facing forward. His expression is composed and dignified, with distinct facial features, like high cheekbones and a slightly pointed nose. He has long, curly hair that falls over his shoulders. He wears ornate armor, including a breastplate, gorget, arm guards, and faulds. A white lace cravat is visible beneath the armor. In his hand, he holds a baton against his armor. A sword with a detailed hilt hangs from his waist. The background is textured and dark, with a cloudy sky on one side. Below the portrait, there is a decorated inscription and coat of arms.
