Hosiah

Theodor Galle after Jan van der Straet

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving showing the upper half of a man's body. The man is positioned facing slightly to the right, with one hand raised as if gesturing. His facial features include a beard and mustache, with deep set eyes and a strong nose, and his hair is curly and appears to go partway down his neck. He is wearing a cloak with a hood that is pulled over his head, and a buttoned garment underneath. He is surrounded by a circular frame with text on it, and the background is a plain, shaded texture with additional text above his head reading "OSEE."
