Edmund Gregory is a 1649 ink by William Marshall, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. His hands are clasped in front of him, and he’s wearing a high collar with a ruff. Behind his head, a small oval shows a faint image of a building or monument. The edges of the picture are framed by text in a decorative font. The words around the portrait say things like *"Edmund Gregory"* and *"Even now I was not..."*—a mix of his name and a short poem. The lines of the engraving are sharp, with lots of tiny parallel lines creating shadows and details. This is an example of engraving.
