"Joris Ysegrim" and "Quastighe Jopje" is a 1564 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two serious-looking men in oval frames. The one on the left wears a dark hat and a ruffled collar, his face lined with age. The one on the right has a bald head and a white collar, looking straight ahead with a steady gaze. Both portraits are drawn in black lines on a textured background. The artist used a technique that creates fine, detailed lines—likely etching. These portraits were made to look like they’re carved into the page. Check out etching to see how artists like this made sharp, precise prints.
