Architectural Motif with a Figure is a 1690 ink by Carlo Antonio Buffagnotti, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a fancy frame. Inside the frame sits a blurred face, almost like a ghost. The frame looks heavy, with thick carvings and swirly decorations on the sides. The artist used lines to show depth, making the frame pop off the page. This style was popular back then for making things look real.
