John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester is a 1720 ink by Nicolas de Larmessin IV, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in old-fashioned clothes. He wears a tall hat, a fur-lined robe, and a clerical collar. His hands are clasped in front of him, and his face has a firm expression with deep lines. The name at the bottom reads *"Ioannes, Fischervs, Episc. Roffen"*, which means this is John Fisher, a bishop. The artist used fine lines to show the folds in his robe and the texture of his skin. Next, check out how this was made with engraving.
