Lewis Roberts is a 1637 ink by George Glover, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white portrait shows a serious man with a mustache and ruff collar. His face is framed by a decorative border with Latin words. Above his head, a crest sits on a little shield. The paper has a slightly yellowed look, like old paper. The text below the portrait talks about how this image will make his name last. The words are written in a fancy, old-fashioned hand. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
