This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man with a serious expression. His hair and beard are thick, and he’s wearing what looks like a robe or coat. The background is plain, with a dark, textured pattern behind him. His right hand is raised slightly, as if gesturing or holding something. The name at the bottom reads *"Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of York."* The style looks detailed, with lots of fine lines to show shadows and fabric. If you like this kind of precise, textured work, look up engraving.
