John Selden, Jurist and Antiquary is a 1640 ink by John Chantry, a Renaissance work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
The image shows a portrait of a man with curly hair and a dark jacket. He is facing to the left, and his head is tilted slightly upwards. The background is a solid color, and there is a circular border around the man's head. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking into the distance. His hair is styled in loose curls, and his jacket appears to be made of a thick, textured fabric. The overall effect of the portrait is one of quiet contemplation. This portrait is an example of Renaissance art, and it showcases the artist's skill with engraving and cross-hatching techniques.
