Print from Drawing Book is a 1615 ink by Luca Ciamberlano, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a close-up of a man’s face, screaming with his mouth wide open. His curly hair is wild, and his forehead is wrinkled. The lines are dark and sharp, making the expression look intense. This is an engraving, which means it was etched into metal and then printed. The artist used cross-hatching—lots of tiny parallel lines—to create shadows and texture. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with just lines.
