Sir Hugh Cartwright is a 1664 ink by Lucas Vorsterman II, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a man with long, wavy hair and a mustache, wearing a dark shirt with a high collar and a metal shoulder piece. The background is a dark oval shape, with a lighter oval outline around it. The man's face is turned slightly to the right, and his expression is serious. The engraving is done in a detailed, cross-hatched style, with many fine lines that give it a sense of texture and depth. The overall effect is one of somberness and dignity, as if the subject is being portrayed in a formal or official capacity. If you're interested in learning more about this style of engraving, you might want to explore the Baroque movement.
Lucas Vorsterman II (1595–1675) was an artist.
