Thomas Scott, Geographer and Theologian is a 1650 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He has a short beard and mustache, and his collar is stiff and ruffled. The background is plain, but the frame is decorated with swirls and flowers, and his name is written around the top and sides. The text below the portrait is in Latin and looks like a short poem. The artist used fine lines to create shading, which makes the face look three-dimensional. If you like this style, check out engraving.
