This print captures the image of Robert Cecil, First Earl of Salisbury, a prominent English statesman from the early 17th century. Created in 1911 by artist Renold Elstrack, this illustration is part of the Historical Portraits collection. Robert Cecil (1563-1612) inherited his father's position as an advisor to Queen Elizabeth I and later became Secretary of State in 1590.

His coat of arms can be seen prominently displayed on his attire, symbolizing his noble lineage and status.
