Thomas Becon, D.D. is a 1576 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a bearded man in a robe and hat. He’s holding a book in one hand and a long staff in the other, looking off to the side. The background shows a simple building and some trees, but the focus is on his serious face and detailed clothes. The text at the bottom says "Thomas Beconus Sacrosæ Theologiæ Professor," meaning he was a theology professor. The date "1576" is written in the corner, showing when this image was made. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists carved these detailed lines.
