William Camden, Herald, Antiquary and Historian 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 an older man with a white ruff collar and a dark robe. He holds a small book in one hand and a round object in the other. The background is a simple oval frame with curved text around it. The words "BRITANNUS" and "CAMDEN" appear above and beside his head, hinting at his identity. The bottom has a Latin phrase and decorative borders with flowers and scrolls. Next, check out engraving to see how artists create detailed images like this using only lines.
