George Carleton, Bishop of Cheschester is a 1620 ink by Frederik van Hulsen, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a long white beard and a dark hat. His face is serious, with deep lines around his eyes and mouth. The background is plain, but his shoulders are shown in a dark robe with a chain around his neck. The words around the top and sides are in Latin, and his name is written at the bottom. The style looks old and detailed, with lots of lines to create shadows and texture. If you like this, look up engraving to see how artists made prints like this.
Frederik van Hulsen (1580–1660) was an artist.
