John Pym is a 1644 ink by George Glover, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man with a mustache and curly hair. He’s wearing a high-collared shirt with a chain and buttons down the front. The background is plain, so all the focus is on his face and clothes. The text below the image calls him John Pym and says he was important in England. The words are written in an old-fashioned hand, adding to the historical feel. If you like this style, check out the technique called engraving.
