Artist, English, born c. 1589/1604

The image shows a full-length portrait of a person standing upright. The individual holds a scepter in one hand and gestures elegantly with the other. Their facial features are depicted with a prominent nose and a small beard, and the hair is styled in an elaborate updo. The person wears a richly decorated robe adorned with fleur-de-lis patterns over a garment with an ornate collar, and a medallion necklace is visible on the chest. Their attire is of regal quality. There are two pillars framing the person, and in the background, a scenic landscape is visible with clouds, distant hills, and a river flowing through a settlement in the valley. The entire scene is captured within an architectural archway.
