William Whitaker, D.D. is a 1650 ink by Klemens Ammon, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in a dark hat and ruffled collar. He’s holding a folded paper in one hand, and the background is plain. Around the edges, there’s writing in a curved banner and a line of Latin at the bottom. The image is an engraving, which means it was carved into metal and printed. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth. Next, look up engraving to see how this technique works.
