This engraving by Adriaen Haelwegh, dating from after 1688, depicts portraits of seven English Bishops. Arranged in a circular format, each bishop is framed in an oval and surrounded by elaborate foliage. The central figure, identified as William, Archbishop of Canterbury, is prominently displayed. The engraving features a detailed and ornate design, showcasing Haelwegh's skill in capturing both the individual characteristics of the bishops and the grandeur of their office. The inscription, "Flectumur, sed non frangamur," meaning "We may be bent, but not broken," suggests the resilience and strength of the Church.
