Jerome van Beverningk is a 1679 ink by Abraham Blooteling, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man with long, curly hair and a serious expression. He wears a dark jacket and a large, ornate collar. The background is dark, which helps the subject stand out. The man's face is rendered in great detail, with fine lines and wrinkles that suggest age and experience. His eyes seem to gaze directly at the viewer, giving the impression that he is looking right at us. The artist, Blooteling, Abraham, used engraving and cross-hatching techniques to create this portrait.
