Arthur Jackson, Ejected Divine is a 1668 ink by David Loggan, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is an engraving of a man in a black robe and hat, with a white collar and a dark tie. He has a long white beard and is looking directly at the viewer. The background is dark, with a lighter oval shape around the man's head and shoulders. The man's face is detailed, with wrinkles and a serious expression. His eyes are looking straight ahead, and his eyebrows are slightly furrowed. The engraving is done in a detailed, realistic style, with lots of fine lines and shading. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The overall effect is one of somberness and seriousness, as if the man is being portrayed as a figure of authority or importance. For more on this technique, look up cross-hatching.
David Loggan (1634–1692) was an artist, born in Gdańsk.
