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 drawing of a man sitting on a low bench, seen from behind. His back is turned, and you can see his broad shoulders, rounded muscles, and the curve of his spine. His hair is short and fuzzy, and he’s resting one arm on his knee. The lines are tight and detailed, made with a technique that creates shadows and texture. This was likely done by pressing ink into carved metal. If you like this style, look up engraving.
