Edmund Grindal, Archbishop of Canterbury is a 1620 ink by Willem de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man with a long beard and curly hair. He’s wearing a dark robe with a high collar, looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his face and shoulders. The name "Edmundus Grindalvs" is written below the image in fancy Latin letters. The artist used lots of tiny lines to create shading and texture, making the robe and beard look detailed. Next, check out how artists used engraving to make portraits like this.
Willem de Passe (1598–1637) was an artist, born in Cologne.
