Lord Hundson, Henry Carey

About this work

This drawing shows a man with a big beard and mustache, dressed in fancy 16th-century clothes. His hat has a feather sticking up, and his collar is ruffled like lace. The lines are all made by tiny dots, giving it a textured look. The signature says "Lord Hundson," which is likely Henry Carey, a nobleman. This style of portrait was common in England during the 1500s, but this version was made much later. Next, check out how this engraving works—it’s made with tiny dots to create shading.
