Henry, Count de Bergh is a 1634 ink by Willem Jacobsz Delff, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white portrait shows a serious-looking man with a full beard and mustache. He’s wearing a ruffled collar and a stiff, studded chest piece, like armor. His gaze is direct, and the lines around his eyes and mouth make him look experienced. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, especially in his face and clothing. This kind of detail is typical of engravings, where tiny marks build up shadows and textures. Next, check out how engraving works to see how artists like this made such sharp images.
