Eustache Le Sueur is a 1731 ink by Charles-Nicolas Cochin I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with wavy hair and a serious face. He’s wearing a loose, high-collar shirt and looks like he’s holding a small object in his left hand. On the table beside him are a few tools—maybe brushes or a palette—and some papers or drawings. The text below says his name is Eustache Le Sueur, and he was a painter and teacher. The style of the lines and shading is very precise, which fits with the way this type of print was made. If you like this, check out the technique: etching.
