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 engraving of a woman’s head turned slightly to the side. Her hair is styled in soft curls, piled high with a flower tucked in. The lines around her face and hair are precise, with cross-hatching to show shadows and depth. The artist used shading to make her features look three-dimensional. The background is mostly empty, so all the focus stays on her face and hair. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this create detailed prints.
