Artist, English, 1616 - 1691

The image depicts a man seated, facing slightly left. He has a solemn expression with defined features: straight nose, arched eyebrows, and a short mustache. His gray hair is styled with soft waves, covering his ears and extending just below his jaw. He wears a black coat, white clerical collar, vestment, and robe. He holds a small, open book. The image is in an oval frame with text, and a decorative border with an inscription is below the portrait. The picture is in monochrome.
