"Portret van William Sherlock" is an engraving by Dutch artist David Coster, created before 1752. This portrait depicts William Sherlock, a theologian and dean of St. Paul's Cathedral. Coster's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates subtle tonal variation and detail in the subject's face and clothing. The engraving is framed by a decorative oval, adding a sense of formality to the composition. This artwork is a testament to Coster's skill as a printmaker and offers insight into the life and work of a prominent religious figure.
