Sir Walter Raleigh is a 1628 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a man in a fancy outfit. He's wearing a ruffled collar and a jacket with lots of patterns. He's holding a stick in his right hand. The man is inside a big oval frame with words around it. The man's face looks serious. He has a beard and mustache. His hair is short and curly. The background is dark, so you can't see much behind him. This portrait is a great example of Baroque art.
