Christopher Chelys Simpson

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious look. He’s wearing a dark collar and a chain around his neck. Below his chin sits a small shield with a lion and some letters. The whole image is framed inside a circle with text around the edges. The name at the bottom reads *Christopher Chelys Simpson*. The artist’s name, Faithorne, is also written in the frame. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
