Henricus Percye (Henry Percy, Ninth Earl of Northumberland)

About this work

This is an engraving of a man with a long white beard and mustache, wearing a hat and a dark vest over a lighter shirt. He has a ruff around his neck and is holding something in his right hand. The background is a dark oval shape with a lighter border around it, and there are two cherubs at the top. The man is surrounded by text, including his name, "Henricus Percye," and a description of him as the "Ninth Earl of Northumberland." There are also some Latin words and phrases, such as "Honoratiss" and "Percy Con." The engraving is done in a detailed and realistic style, with a lot of texture and shading. It's a good example of Renaissance art, which often featured realistic and detailed portraits like this one.
