Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset is a 1614 ink by Andries Jacobsz Stock, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image is a black and white engraving of a man's portrait. He has curly hair and is wearing a ruffled collar and a cloak with a sash. The engraving is circular, with a border of text around it. The text is in a foreign language, but it appears to be a title or dedication. The man in the portrait looks directly at the viewer with a serious expression. His hair is styled in a fashionable manner, and his clothing is ornate and detailed. The engraving is highly detailed, with intricate cross-hatching that gives the image depth and texture. This engraving is an example of Renaissance art, a style characterized by realism and attention to detail. To learn more about this style, look up the Renaissance movement.
