Portret van Richard Sherlock 1670 - 1725

This etching by Michiel van der Gucht, dated between 1670 and 1725, depicts Richard Sherlock, a clergyman. The portrait is presented in an oval frame, a common style for engravings during this period. The artist's signature, "M.V. Gucht. scul," can be seen at the bottom of the frame. The engraving's meticulous detail, particularly in the sitter's clothing and the intricate lines of the frame, is characteristic of the artist's style. The title "Richard Sherlock D.D. Late Rector of Clinwick" beneath the portrait provides information about the sitter and his profession.
