Henry More, Platonist and Theologian is a 1679 ink by David Loggan, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man with curly hair and a high collar. His face is framed by a round border with swirling designs at the top. Below, there’s a small coat of arms with stars and a banner. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, giving the face depth. The text at the bottom reads like a name and title, but it’s hard to make out without help. Want to see how this was made? Look up engraving.
David Loggan (1634–1692) was an artist, born in Gdańsk.
