Artist, English, 1607 - 1647

The image includes an engraving of a man sitting, holding a book in front of him. He has a solemn expression and distinct facial features: a prominent brow, a long nose, and a mustache with a short beard. He wears a dark beret, a clerical robe with a high, ruffled white collar, loose sleeves, and a white shirt visible at the collar and cuffs. The background features a circular ornate border with an inscription around the man, along with text and a coat of arms. The image is monochromatic with detailed line work characteristic of engravings from that time.
