Thomas Cavendish is a 1598 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a man holding two globes, one in each hand. The man has curly hair and wears a dark robe with a white collar and a dark tie adorned with a flower. He is set against a dark background with a star and a feather visible on either side of his head. The man's attire and the globes he holds suggest that he may be a world traveler or explorer. The engraving is detailed, with intricate lines and shading that give it a sense of depth and texture. The Renaissance movement, known for its attention to detail and realism, is reflected in this engraving.
