York

John Hamilton Mortimer

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving of a man's upper body in a circular frame. He is shown in a three-quarter view, leaning forward with crossed arms. The man's face looks serious and contemplative. He has curly hair, wears a headscarf with ribbon-like decorations, and is dressed in ornate armor with a ruffled collar. The background is a monochrome texture. Above the image, the text reads "YORK," and below is a caption that seems to be a line from a play.
