About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in old-fashioned clothes. He’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled collar, and a cape with a bow tied at the front. The background is plain, so all the focus is on his face and outfit. The text below says his name is Thomas Percy and that he was involved in the Gunpowder Plot. This was a real event in English history where a group tried to blow up Parliament. If you want to see more like this, check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
