Portraits of Sir Walter Raleigh, Lord Bacon, Algernon Sidney, and Sir Matthew Hale is a 1821 by Thomas Woolnoth, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows four serious-looking men in old-fashioned clothes. Each wears a different hat and ruffled collar, drawn in black lines on a light background. Their faces are detailed but simple, with no bright colors—just shading to show their expressions. The names under each portrait label them as important figures from history. The print looks like it was copied from older sketches, not painted fresh. Want to know more? Check out Woolnoth, Thomas.
