"What Is It???" Wednesday: Drake's portrait

Now on permanent display at the St. Augustine Art Association is "Art y Facts of Drake's Raid,"including this portrait of polarizing figure Sir Francis Drake.  You already know the who, but what about the what?  What special material was used to create the portrait?  

WHAT IS IT???

We'll follow up next week with a post from our visit to the display.
