Created by the talented artist Jacobus Houbraken and published in 1742, this engraving is a testament to Dudley's influential role as Queen Elizabeth I's favorite courtier. Dressed in exquisite armor adorned with feathers and armed with a sword, Dudley exudes power and elegance. His finely groomed moustache adds an air of sophistication to his charismatic presence. The artist skillfully captures his subject's commanding gaze, hinting at both ambition and loyalty.

A stylish hat sits atop his head, further accentuating his status as one of the most esteemed individuals of his time.
