Lord Thomas Fairfax is a 1654 ink by William Faithorne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is an engraving of a man with shoulder-length hair and a serious expression. He is dressed in a dark jacket with a high collar and a white shirt underneath. The engraving is circular, with a thin border around the edge that features text. The text on the border reads "Thomas Fairfax Baron of Cameron" at the top, and "Obt 1671 Aet 60" at the bottom. The background of the engraving is a subtle cross-hatching pattern, which adds depth and texture to the image. The level of detail in the engraving is impressive, with fine lines and shading that give the subject a sense of realism. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Faithorne, William.
