William Lilly, Astrologer

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a long beard and curly hair. He’s dressed in a high-collar shirt, holding a book and a piece of paper with sketches. Behind him, a small landscape shows trees, a church, and people working in a field. The name at the bottom reads *Gulielmus Lillius*, but the artist’s name is *Marshall*. The date 1602 is also listed, though the man’s face looks older than that. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like Marshall created such detailed prints.
