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 a young person with curly hair and a soft gaze. The face is drawn with fine lines, showing the shape of the forehead, nose, and lips clearly. Their hair is styled in loose curls, and they’re wearing a simple collar. The artist used shading to give the face a three-dimensional look. The paper has small marks where the engraver’s tool pressed in, creating texture. Next, look up engraving to see how this technique works.
