The portrait, skillfully crafted by Adriaan van der Werff and engraved by Pieter Stevens van Gunst, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Latimer, known as Bishop of Worcester and martyr, is depicted in a side profile view with his coat of arms proudly displayed. The oval-shaped composition adds a touch of refinement to this remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to the 18th century when it was created for Isaac de Larrey's Histoire d'Angleterre, d'Ecosse et d'Irlande. The intricate foliage border surrounding the image enhances its decorative appeal while also hinting at the historical context within which Latimer lived. His significant contributions to European history are palpable through this striking portrayal. As we delve into this engraving's details, it becomes evident that every stroke has been meticulously executed to capture not only Latimer's physical features but also his essence as a person who played an influential role during his time. This print from Fine Art Finder serves as a visual testament to Hugh Latimer's legacy—a man whose courage and beliefs ultimately led him down the path of martyrdom.
