Edmund Grindal, Archbishop of Canterbury is a 1710 ink by Michiel van der Gucht, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a portrait of a man dressed in formal attire, holding an open book. He wears a dark robe with a high collar and a matching hat, and his long white beard reaches down to his chest. The man's face is serious, with a slight furrow between his eyebrows. The background of the portrait is a solid color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The overall effect is one of dignity and gravitas. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of texture and depth in the portrait.
