The Compilers of the English Liturgy is a 1690 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a group of men in 17th-century clothing gathered around a table. They are dressed in long robes and hats, and some are holding papers or quills. The table has a large book and some plants on it. The men seem to be discussing or working on something together. The room has a large window with curtains, and there is a fireplace with a grate. The overall atmosphere is one of seriousness and concentration. The engraving style is detailed and intricate, with cross-hatching used to create texture and shading. It's a great example of Baroque art.
