1629
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Sir Edward Coke is a 1629 ink by John Payne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a bald head, white beard, and ruffled collar. He’s wearing a dark coat with buttons and a chain around his neck. The background is plain, but the edges of the oval frame have words in Latin. The artist used fine lines and shading to show his face and clothes. This style was common in the 1600s. Next, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed prints like this one.
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.
