Sir William Seymour, 2nd Duke of Somerset, stands before us in all his regal splendor. Clad in traditional plate armor with intricate mesh detailing, he exudes strength and authority. His half-length portrait reveals a man who is both powerful and refined, a true embodiment of nobility.

This meticulous attention to detail brings depth and realism to this historical artwork. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this print serves as a reminder of an era marked by bravery and conflict.
