Edward Sackville, Fourth Earl of Dorset is a 1616 ink by Robert van Voerst, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a fancy lace collar and a dark coat. The background is a plain oval shape with text around it. The text calls him "Baron Buckhurst" and "Lord Chamberlain," which suggests he was someone important. The style looks old-fashioned, with careful lines and shading. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
