John Bulwer, M.D. is a 1653 ink by William Faithorne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. His face is round, with a short beard and mustache. He’s wearing a high collar and a ring on his right hand. The background is plain, but the edges of the oval frame are filled with tiny cross-hatching lines. The text below the portrait lists his many titles, including "M.D." His hand rests on his chest, as if making a point. The artist’s name, William Faithorne, is signed at the bottom.
