1627
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Sir Benjamin Rudyerd is a 1627 ink by John Payne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a portrait of a man with curly hair and a beard, wearing a dark jacket with a white ruffled collar. The portrait is framed by an oval border with text around the edges. The man's expression is serious, and he is looking directly at the viewer. The background of the portrait is a dark color, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The portrait is an example of a Baroque-style engraving, characterized by its use of cross-hatching and shading to create depth and texture. The artist, Payne, John, used these techniques to create a detailed and realistic image of the subject. You can learn more about the Baroque movement by looking up the artist, Payne, John.
