Philip Herbert, Fourth Earl of Pembroke is a 1642 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is an engraving of a man with long hair and a mustache. He is wearing a large collar and a dark jacket with a brooch. The background is a solid color. The engraving is done in a detailed style, with many small lines that give the image texture and depth. The man's face is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The engraving is an example of the Baroque style, which was popular in Europe during the 17th century. If you're interested in learning more about this style, you might want to look into the Baroque movement.
