Print from Drawing Book is a 1615 ink by Luca Ciamberlano, a Baroque work, depicting Putto, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows fine lines pressed into paper, shading a curved shape. It looks like a study of light on a vase or cup. The artist carved each line by hand. Engraving takes skill. The artist cuts a metal plate with a sharp tool. Ink fills the lines then presses onto paper. This leaves a crisp image. Want to see more of this style? Try Ciamberlano, Luca.
