Henry Carey, Earl of Monmouth is a 1656 ink by William Faithorne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a portrait of a man with long, curly hair and a mustache. He's wearing a shiny robe with a high collar, and his head is turned slightly to the right. The background is dark, but there's a circular border around the man's head with some words written on it. The man's expression is serious, and he looks like he's staring straight at you. The artist has used a lot of detail to show the texture of his hair and the folds of his robe. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement. If you like this kind of detailed, realistic art, you might want to check out more works from the Baroque movement.
