Print from Drawing Book is a 1615 ink by Luca Ciamberlano, a Baroque work, depicting Barefoot, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a fancy coat of arms with curved lines and tiny details. The lines are cut into a metal plate then inked and pressed onto paper. That’s called engraving. The artist, Luca Ciamberlano, lived in Rome around 1610. He made prints like this one to sell to collectors. It’s small, only about postcard size. Check out the cross-hatching in the shadows.
