Artist, English, active 1617/1649

The image features an upper-body engraving of a man seated with his torso facing partly to the right. His face is turned forward towards the viewer. The man has a beard and a mustache, with short, combed hair under a cap that has a detailed pattern towards the top. He is dressed in a formal robe with an ornate ruffled collar and a fur-lined cape draped over his shoulders. One hand is holding a quill, while the other rests on an open book. The background includes an oval frame with inscriptions, likely in Latin, surrounding the man's portrait. The area outside the frame is filled with crosshatched lines, contributing to the image's textured, vintage style.
