John Selden, Jurist and Antiquary is a 1661 ink by John Chantry, a Baroque work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious face. He’s wearing a dark collar that stands out against the light background. The edges of the image are framed by a woven pattern that looks like rope or vines. The text below says it’s a "true and lively portraiture" of someone called John Selden, described as a "learned antiquary." That means he was likely a scholar who studied old things.
