Robert Rich, Second Earl of Warwick 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 looks serious. The background is plain, but the edges of the image have curved lines and text around his head. The text around him says he’s an admiral and commander of the fleet. His name is written at the bottom in a fancy script. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create these detailed prints.
