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 man facing slightly to the left. His hair is short and wavy, and he’s wearing a high-collared shirt with a ruffled edge. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face and shoulders. The artist used fine lines and shading to show texture, especially in his hair and collar. This kind of careful linework is typical of engravings, where the artist etches details into a metal plate. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this create prints.
