Philip Herbert, Fourth Earl of Pembroke 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 mustache and ruffled collar. He’s wearing a fancy coat and holding a piece of paper or scroll in one hand. Above his head, a fancy crest sits in a curved frame, and the words around him say things like "Nobilis" and "Comes" in curly letters. The text below his face calls him "the right Honourable and most noble Philip Earle of Mongommery," which means he was someone important. The artist’s name, Simon Passe, is listed at the bottom, along with the word "sculp," short for "sculpted," which hints at how this image was made. This is an example of the technique: engraving.
