James Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh is a 1647 ink by William Marshall, 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’s wearing a high collar with ruffles, a dark robe, and a chain around his neck. His hands hold an open book and a ring, and there’s a small inkwell on the table in front of him. The background has a diamond shape with a cross inside and some text. The text below his name calls him "Archbishop of Armagh," which suggests he was a religious leader. The style of the print looks detailed and precise, typical of its time. Want to know more?
