Sir Walter Raleigh is a 1663 ink by Frederik Hendrik van den Hove, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a serious-looking man with a thick beard and ruffled collar. Behind him is a smaller portrait of another man wearing a crown. To the right, there’s a shield with lions and a round crest with a lightning bolt. The text at the bottom calls it “the true effigies of Sir Walter Rawleigh Knight.” The artist’s name is also there, but it’s hard to read. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists carved these details.
Frederik Hendrik van den Hove (1628–1698) was an artist.
