Sir Richard Grenville, Naval Commander is a 1620 ink by Willem de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving features a man with a stern expression, sporting a beard and mustache. He wears a ruffled collar and a patterned jacket adorned with buttons. The man's hair is neatly combed back, and his gaze is directed straight ahead. The engraving is rendered in a range of grays, with the man's face and clothing standing out against a darker background. The overall effect is one of somberness and dignity.
