Sir Thomas More

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a seated man in a formal portrait style. He is slightly angled to the left with a solemn expression, prominent nose, heavy eyelids, short hair, and a wide-brimmed hat. He is wearing ornate attire with a fur collar, draped cloth secured by a floral brooch, and holding a rolled document in his left hand resting his right hand on a cylindrical object. The background features decorative engravings of ornamental columns and curved foliage designs.
