James Butler, First Duke of Ormonde is a 1668 ink by David Loggan, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s wearing a fancy lace collar and a dark coat with a star pinned to it. His curly wig is long, and he’s framed by a decorative oval border with swirls and ribbons. The text below his face lists his titles in Latin, and there’s a coat of arms at the bottom. The artist signed it in the corner. Next, look up engraving to see how this kind of detailed printing works.
