Robert Devereux, Second Earl of Essex is a 1660 ink by William Dolle, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving features a portrait of a man with a prominent beard and mustache, dressed in armor. He wears a cloak over his shoulder, and his hair is styled in loose waves. The background is a deep, dark gray, which contrasts with the lighter tones of the subject's face and clothing. The engraving is characterized by intricate cross-hatching, which adds depth and texture to the image. The level of detail is impressive, with fine lines and shading that bring the subject to life. The level of craftsmanship on display here is reminiscent of the work of William Dolle, a master engraver of the Baroque period.
