Francis White, D.D., Bishop of Ely is a 1624 ink by Thomas Cockson, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a long white beard and ruff collar. He’s holding a book in one hand and a glove in the other, sitting in a chair. Around him is a fancy border with Latin words, a coat of arms, and small symbols like a crown and a fish. The border looks like it’s made of detailed lines, which is typical for this kind of print. The words around him say things like *"Wisdom and grace"* and *"Truth’s triumph."* Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made prints with sharp lines.
