Edward Somerset, Fourth Earl of Worcester is a 1621 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man with a white beard and ruffled collar. He’s wearing a fancy coat with embroidered sleeves and holding a small object in his right hand. Above his head, there’s a coat of arms with a crown and Latin words wrapped in a decorative scroll. The text around the image names him "Edward Somerset," listing his titles like "Earl of Worcester." The artist’s name, Simon Passe, is signed at the bottom. Want to see more? Look up engraving to see how artists carved these detailed prints.
