George Montaigne, Archbishop of York is a 1664 ink by George Yeates, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man in a long robe. He’s holding a book in one hand and a piece of paper in the other, looking serious. Around him are fancy scrolls with Latin words like *"Viva Rex"* and *"Reverend in Christo."* The text below his face calls him *"George Montaigne, Lord Bishop of London."* The swirls and crown above his head make it feel official, like a badge of power.
