Sir James Harrington, Bart. is a 1682 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’s wearing a ruffled collar and a cloak draped over his shoulders. Below his chin is a round emblem with a swirling design and what looks like an "X" shape inside it. The edges of the picture are decorated with small carvings and text. The text at the bottom says this is "The True Effigies of Sir James Harrington, Knight and Baronet." The words around the top and sides seem to be Latin phrases, like "Tam Marte" and "Ovam Mercurius." If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
