Abraham Cowley is a 1768 ink by John Hall, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious expression. His face is framed by a circular border, and the background is plain. Around the circle, there’s text in Latin and English, including a quote about his "language of his heart." The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth in the hair and face. The print looks old, with some wear on the edges. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists made detailed prints like this.
