Thomas Percy is a 1605 by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraved portrait of a bearded man in a wide-brimmed hat. His face is serious, with a ruff collar peeking out. Around him, four small scenes show people in action, framed like windows. Latin words wrap around the edges, and a tiny barrel sits below his chin. The text at the bottom says it’s a "first original edition" of Thomas Percy, published in 1801. That means this print copies an older image, not the original painting. Look up Baroque next to see how this style’s drama fits into art history.
