Print from Drawing Book is a 1615 ink by Luca Ciamberlano, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man with a full white beard and mustache. His hair is curly, and he wears a ruffled collar that frames his face. The lines on his forehead and around his eyes show deep wrinkles, and his gaze is steady but serious. The artist used fine lines and shading to create texture, especially in the beard and hair. This kind of detailed linework is typical of engravings from that time. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made prints.
