Richard Sackville, Third Earl of Dorset is a 1621 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a man in a fancy outfit, with curly hair and a beard. He's wearing a big collar and a fancy jacket with lace on the cuffs. The man is looking straight at you, and his hands are clasped together in front of him. The engraving is surrounded by a fancy border with words written on it. The words are hard to read, but they seem to be the man's name and title. The background of the engraving is dark, which makes the man stand out. This engraving was made using a technique called cross-hatching, which creates a lot of detail and texture. It's a great example of Renaissance art, and it's held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. If you want to learn more about this style of art, you should check out the Renaissance movement.
