Sir Edward Dering is a 1633 ink by George Glover, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows a man with curly hair and a beard, wearing a dark-colored shirt with a high collar and a striped sleeve. He is looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. The background is dark, with a subtle texture that suggests a sense of depth. In the top-left corner, there is a small image of a horse standing on a circular platform, while in the top-right corner, there is a winged object with a cross on top. These details add a sense of elegance and sophistication to the overall composition. The use of cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of texture and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face and clothing. This level of detail and craftsmanship is reminiscent of the work of Glover, George.
