Robert Eglesfield, Founder of Queen's College, Oxford is a 1682 ink by Michael Burghers, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a man in a large hat and cloak, with a high collar and a serious expression. He is shown from the chest up, facing forward, and is set against a plain background. The man's clothing and hat are rendered in intricate detail, with cross-hatching used to create texture and depth. The overall effect is one of somberness and gravity. The image is a portrait of Robert Eglesfield, the founder of Queen's College, Oxford.
