This engraving, titled "Portrait of Sir Thomas Gresham" takes us back in time to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the life of an influential English merchant. Created by Richard Woodman, this print showcases the esteemed figure who founded the Royal Exchange. Sir Thomas Gresham's portrait exudes power and sophistication as he gazes confidently at the viewer. His elaborate ruff collar frames his face, symbolizing wealth and status during this era. The attention to detail in his clothing is remarkable; every fold and texture meticulously engraved, showcasing the fashion trends of that time. The artist skillfully captures Gresham's half-length pose, allowing us to appreciate not only his attire but also his commanding presence. This portrait serves as a testament to Gresham's significant contributions to society as a successful businessman. Displayed within a private collection, this engraving has been preserved for generations to come. Its historical significance lies not only in its depiction of Sir Thomas Gresham but also in its representation of 16th-century fashion and societal norms.
