Anthony Henley before 1694

Sir Godfrey Kneller, a prominent portrait painter of the English Baroque period, created this graphite drawing of Anthony Henley before 1694. The close-up portrait captures Henley's youthful features with a focus on the face and the suggestion of the collar of his shirt, leaving the rest of the figure to be imagined. Kneller's drawing style is characterized by loose, fluid lines and subtle shading that creates a sense of volume and depth.
