Print from Drawing Book is a 1615 ink by Luca Ciamberlano, a Baroque work, depicting Barefoot, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a study of hands in different poses. The lines are crisp and fine, made by pressing a sharp tool into metal. You can see how the artist used tiny crosses to shade some areas, that’s called cross-hatching. Luca Ciamberlano trained under a famous printmaker. His work shows how artists practiced drawing before painting. This sheet looks like a quick lesson, not a finished picture. It’s stored at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
