John, Lord Somers is a 1705 ink by Richardson, Sr., Jonathan, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait depicts a man with curly hair and a serious expression. He is wearing a loose-fitting shirt with a high collar, and his right hand is visible, holding a quill pen. The image is rendered in a detailed, cross-hatched style, with deep shadows that add depth to the subject's face and clothing. The background is a warm, beige color that complements the subject's attire. The artist's use of etching and drypoint techniques creates a sense of texture and dimensionality in the image.
