Titian is a 1587 ink by Agostino Carracci, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image shows a man's head and shoulders, facing left. He has a long, curly beard and mustache, and is wearing a hat and a fur-trimmed coat. The background is a plain gray color. The man's expression is serious, and he looks like he's concentrating on something. The engraving technique used to create the image gives it a detailed, textured look.
