George Villiers, First Duke of Buckingham is a 1672 ink by William Dolle, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white image shows a man with a serious face and a thick beard. He’s wearing a fancy, star-covered coat with lots of buttons. The background is plain, but the edges of the picture have curved text that reads *CRUX FIDELIS* and *VINCIT AMOR*. The tiny dots and lines in the image are made by engraving, a method where artists carve into metal to create detailed prints. This style was common in the 1600s. Look up engraving to see how artists made prints like this one.
