Print from Drawing Book is a 1615 ink by Luca Ciamberlano, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows six close-up drawings of eyes and noses. The lines are dark and precise, with lots of shading to show curves and shadows. Some eyes are wide open, while others are half-closed or squinting. The artist focused on tiny details like eyelashes and wrinkles around the eyes. This kind of careful study was common in art training back then. Try looking up engraving to see how artists like this one made prints.
