William Perkins, Preacher is a 1642 ink by William Marshall, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man with a long white beard and mustache. He’s wearing a dark robe with a high collar and a chain necklace. His right hand rests on a book or paper, and his left hand holds something small, maybe a ring or tool. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his face and hands. The text below says his name is William Perkins, a preacher who died in 1602. The artist’s name, William Marshall, is signed in the corner. If you like this style, check out the technique: engraving.
