Tho. Browne, Med. Doctoris (Sir Thomas Browne, M.D.) is a 1653 ink by Thomas Cross, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair, a mustache, and a bow tie. His collar is stiff and high, and his hair falls over his shoulders. The background is plain, but the edges of his robe or cloak swirl around him like waves. The text at the bottom reads *"Tho. Browne, Med. Doctoris"*, meaning this is a doctor named Thomas Browne. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and depth. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints before photography.
