John Digby, Earl of Bristol, Ambassador to Spain is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a fancy hat and ruffled collar. He’s wearing a chain around his neck and holds a small object in his hand. The background is dark, but his face and clothes are detailed with sharp lines. The border around him has words like "Honorable" and "Baron of Shirborne." The text below says he was an ambassador to Spain. Look up engraving to see how artists use lines to create depth this way.
