Sir Edward Dering is a 1633 ink by George Glover, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white engraving shows a man in fancy 17th-century clothes. His curly hair and beard frame a serious face, and he wears a striped doublet with a ruffled collar. Above his head are two small symbols: a horse on one side and a pair of crossed objects on the other. The text around the image names him Sir Edward Dering and lists titles like "knight" and "baronet," hinting he was someone important. The coat of arms in the middle adds to that sense of status.
