Print from Drawing Book is a 1615 ink by Luca Ciamberlano, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows five hands in different poses. Some hands are open, some are clenched. The lines are dark and sharp, making the skin look rough. The paper is old and yellowed around the edges. The artist used tiny lines stacked together to create shadows. This makes the hands look three-dimensional. It’s a trick called cross-hatching. Look up cross-hatching next to see how it works.
