Charles, Earl of Carlisle is a 1679 ink by Abraham Blooteling, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving portrays a man with long, curly hair, dressed in armor and a cloak. He holds a sword in his right hand, and his left arm rests on a ledge. The background features a landscape with a cloudy sky. The man's attire and the landscape suggest a sense of grandeur and nobility. The level of detail in the engraving, particularly in the man's hair and clothing, indicates a high level of craftsmanship. For more on the technique used to create this image, look up engraving.
