Robert Devereux, Second Earl of Essex is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white engraving shows a serious-looking man with a thick beard and curly hair. He wears a fancy hat with feathers and a heavy coat over his shoulders. His hands rest on a scroll or piece of paper, and his face has sharp lines and a determined expression. The text around him lists his titles, like "Earl of Essex" and "Marshal of England," showing he was someone important. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth in his face and clothes.
