Print from Drawing Book is a 1615 ink by Luca Ciamberlano, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a woman's head and shoulders in an elaborate headdress and jewelry. She is turned slightly to her right, and her face is in profile. The image is in black and white, with lots of fine lines that give it a detailed, textured look. The woman's headdress is tall and ornate, with a feather on top and lots of braids and curls. Her clothing is also fancy, with a high collar and lots of jewels and embroidery. The overall effect is one of luxury and elegance. The image is an engraving, which means it was made by carving a design into a metal plate and then printing it onto paper. This technique was popular during the Baroque period, when this image was made. If you want to learn more about this style of art, check out the Baroque movement.
