Sir Thomas Overbury is a 1598 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a man sitting at a desk, holding a quill pen and paper. He is dressed in a robe with a ruffled collar and has a coat draped over his shoulders. The man's hair is short, and he has a mustache. A coat of arms is visible behind him, featuring a shield with a diagonal stripe and three stars. In the top-left corner, an oval frame contains the text "THE Portraiture of Sir THOMAS OVERBURY Knight." The background of the image is a light brown color, suggesting it may be an old print or engraving. This engraving is an example of Renaissance art, specifically from the 17th century.
