William Camden is a 1661 ink by Robert Gaywood, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a man with a serious expression, wearing a ruffled collar and ornate clothing adorned with lions and fleur-de-lis. The man's right hand rests on a book or desk, while his left hand is not visible. A banner in the top-left corner features a coat of arms and illegible text. The image includes a caption at the bottom, which is partially legible. It mentions "Joseph's Coat" and "Nobility Dative," but the remaining text is unclear. The overall atmosphere of the etching is formal and dignified. To learn more about the technique used to create this image, look up etching.
