Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford is a 1686 ink by Charles Simonneau, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a round frame. He wears a dark coat with buttons and a ruffled collar. His hair is curly, and he has a serious expression. Below, a smaller scene shows his face upside-down in someone’s hands, like a mirror trick. The name “Thomas Wentworth” is written under the portrait. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the clothing and hair look detailed. Want to see more? Check out the technique: engraving.
