Thomas Bodley is a 1682 ink by Michael Burghers, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two round scenes inside a fancy frame. On the left is a serious man in a dark coat, looking off to the side. His face is detailed, with a long beard and deep lines. On the right is a woman in flowing robes, holding a scroll and a staff, standing on a pedestal. The man’s portrait is labeled with Latin text, and the woman’s scene looks like a symbol of something important. The whole image is made with fine lines and shading, giving it a textured look. This is an example of engraving.
