1627
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Rev. Robert Bolton is a 1627 ink by John Payne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of an older man with a long beard and serious expression. He’s wearing a dark, patterned robe with a high collar. The image is framed by a circular border, and the background looks like printed text. The name "R. Bolton" is written below the portrait, along with a short note about his life. The text around it looks like an old book page, giving it a historical feel. If you like this style, check out engraving to see how artists create detailed images with just lines.
John Payne (1607–1647) was an English engraver, who was one of the earliest exponents of the art of engraving in England. His best work was the finest produced by a native-born engraver working during the reign of Charles I.
