Edmund Geninges, Catholic Priest is a 1614 ink by Martin Baes, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in old-fashioned clothes. He’s wearing a tall hat, a stiff collar, and a robe. His hands hold a closed book, and behind his head is a shield with a coat of arms. The image is an engraving, so the lines are etched into the surface. The artist used small, repeated lines to create shading, making the face and clothes look three-dimensional. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
