Sir Julius Caesar is a 1598 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white portrait shows an older man with a long white beard and ruff collar. He’s wearing a dark hat and holding a piece of paper in one hand. Around his head, there’s a decorative border with Latin words like *Magistr. Scrinior* and *Honoratiss. D.* A bird perches on his arm, and a coat of arms sits above his head. The text below names him *Sir Julius Caesar*, calling him a knight and counselor. The artist’s name, *R. Elstrack Sculp*, is signed at the bottom. Want to know more? Look up engraving.
