Print from Drawing Book is a 1615 ink by Luca Ciamberlano, a Baroque work, depicting Anatomy, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a man in a fancy hat and coat. His curls frame his face. The lines are sharp and clean. He looks like he just stepped out of a portrait. Engraving means cutting lines into metal. Ink fills the cuts. Paper presses against it. That’s how the image transfers. Cross-hatching gives him texture. Tiny lines make shadows and folds in his clothes. Try looking up engraving next.
