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 woman’s side profile. Her hair is pulled up in two loose buns, and she wears a high collar. The lines are tight and detailed, especially around her face and neck. The artist used lots of small parallel lines to create shadows and texture—this is called cross-hatching. It gives the drawing depth without color. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how other artists used this technique.
