Artist, English, 1634 - 1692

The image shows an engraved portrait of a person from the upper body down to the waist. The person faces slightly to the right, with their head turned towards the viewer. They have delicate facial features, wavy shoulder-length hair, and wear a garment with an ornate lace collar, a vest, and puffed sleeves. The figure is surrounded by a decorative oval border with embellishments above the head and heraldic crests in the top corners. Below the portrait is a poetic inscription in cursive handwriting with small embellishments, set against a textured background within the oval border.
