About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He wears a ruffled collar and a dark jacket, framed by a circular border. Below the portrait, there’s a small seal and his handwritten signature. The text names him *Sir George Calvert, Lord Baltimore*, copied from an original letter. The image is an engraving, not a painting—it uses fine lines to create shading. If you like this style, look up *engraving*.
