George Villiers, First Duke of Buckingham is a 1621 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a man in a lavish outfit, surrounded by an ornate oval frame. He wears a dark robe with lace cuffs and a ruffled collar, and his right hand rests on a sword. The frame is adorned with various symbols, including a cherub, flowers, and a banner with Latin text. A smaller figure sits at the bottom of the frame, holding a shield with a coat of arms. The overall design suggests a sense of grandeur and importance, fitting for a portrait of a noble figure. This engraving is a testament to the artistic skills of Simon van de Passe, a master of Renaissance engraving techniques.
