Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford

About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a man with curly hair, a mustache, and a high collar. His face is turned slightly to the side, and he’s wearing a ruffled shirt with buttons down the front. The background is plain, keeping all the focus on his expression. The name below says *Thomas Wentworth*, and the date is 1641—so this is a historical portrait. The artist is unknown, but the style looks like it was made later, in the 1800s. Want to see how this technique works? Look up *cross-hatching*.
