About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in old-fashioned clothes. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled collar, and a long coat with a bow at the neck. The lines are sharp and the shading is simple, making his face look serious. The text below says "Tho’s. Percy one of the Conspirators in the GUNPOWDER PLOT." This suggests he was involved in a famous historical event. Next, look up the National Gallery of Art, Washington to see more prints like this one.
