John, Earl of Mar, Lord Erskine is a 1703 ink by John Smith, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a dark coat with buttons and a white cravat. His left arm rests on a metal object, maybe armor. Around him are fancy shields with symbols and words. The edges of the image show detailed designs, like coats of arms. The text at the bottom names him as "John, Earl of Mar," with a long list of titles. Want to learn more? Check out the technique: engraving.
