"William Sommers by Francis Delaram" is an engraving created by the English printmaker Francis Delaram (fl. 1615–1624). The work is a portrait of William Sommers, also known as Will Somers, who was the court jester for King Henry VIII of England. Sommers was a well-known figure in the Tudor court and was famous for his wit and humor, which allowed him to speak more freely in the presence of the king than most other courtiers.

Francis Delaram was active during the early 17th century and is known for his engravings, many of which were portraits of notable figures of the time. His work on William Sommers is significant as it provides a visual representation of a historical figure for whom few contemporary likenesses exist. The engraving is an important piece of historical documentation, offering insight into the dress and appearance of a Tudor-era court jester, as well as the style of portraiture during Delaram's time.

The engraving of William Sommers is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of intricate lines to capture the textures of Sommers' attire and the expression on his face. It is a valuable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike, as it contributes to the understanding of the role of jesters in the royal court and the art of portraiture in the early modern period.

As a work of art, "William Sommers by Francis Delaram" stands as a testament to the skill of the engraver and the enduring fascination with the personalities of the Tudor court. It remains an important artifact within the study of English Renaissance art and the cultural history of the period.
