Endymion Porter is a 1654 ink by William Faithorne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He wears a fancy collar, a ruffled shirt, and a cloak draped over his shoulders. One hand rests on a folded paper or glove, and the background shows a tree and a curtain. The text below says it’s a "true and lively" portrait of Endymion Porter, a "Bedchamber Esquire." The artist’s name, William Faithorne, is signed in the corner. Want to see how this kind of detailed etching was made? Look up engraving.
