Edward Dering, Puritan Divine 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 a serious-looking man with a beard and a wide-brimmed hat. He’s holding a small object in his right hand, maybe a book or a paper. His clothes look formal, with a high collar and a dark jacket. The artist used fine lines and shading to show his face and hands in detail. The background is plain, so all the focus stays on him.
