This photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of Marvell's multifaceted persona as he gazes into eternity. The skillful craftsmanship evident in this engraving highlights the intricate details captured by John Raphael Smith. Each stroke brings out the texture of Marvell's hair while emphasizing his piercing eyes that seem to hold secrets untold.
