From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mark is a 1539 ink by Heinrich Aldegrever, a Northern Renaissance work, depicting John the Evangelist, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a portrait of a man. He's dressed in simple clothes and has a serious face. The details in the portrait are interesting, like the folds in his clothing and the expression on his face, which suggests a quiet confidence. The artist used a lot of lines to create texture and depth. This style was common during the 1500s, and it's still used today in some forms of art. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: etching.
Heinrich Aldegrever or Aldegraf was a German painter and engraver. He was one of the "Little Masters", the group of German artists making small old master prints in the generation after Albrecht Dürer.
