English 16th Century was a Renaissance artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This artist worked in 16th-century England and left behind detailed engravings and drawings of royalty. Their engraving Coats of Arms with Corner Portraits of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Mary stacks four crowned profiles around a family crest, while their ink drawing of King John shows the monarch’s right profile in careful, scratchy lines. Look for the way the artist treats each figure like a stamp in a ledger, no extra flair, just sharp facts. Tap the drawing King John to see how the hand and ink do the talking.
