Portret van Thomas Wentworth 1669 - 1683

This etching, created by Alexander Browne between 1669 and 1683, portrays Thomas Wentworth, the Earl of Strafford and Viscount Wentworth, a prominent figure in 17th-century English history. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Browne’s skill in capturing detail and conveying the sitter's presence. Wentworth is depicted in full armor, his expression serious, his gaze fixed on the viewer, highlighting his authoritative role. The partially visible landscape background, with a distant scene of soldiers, suggests Wentworth’s military background. This etching, with its meticulous rendering of detail and historical subject, stands as a testament to Browne's artistic talent and the significance of this influential historical figure.
