This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a big beard and mustache. He wears a fancy hat with feathers and a ruffled collar. The background is plain, so all the focus is on his face. The text below says his name is Robert Dudley and he held important titles. The artist signed it "W. Marshall sculptsit," which means he carved this image.
