John King, Bishop of London is a 1650 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving features a portrait of a man with a long white beard and mustache, wearing a dark vest over a white shirt with puffy sleeves. He is set against a dark background, and his image is encircled by an oval frame adorned with leaves and flowers. The frame also includes text, although it is not legible. The man's attire suggests he may be a member of the clergy, and the level of detail in the engraving implies a high level of skill on the part of the artist.
