"Kees Geldt-sack" and "Kaarighe Truy" is a 1564 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two black-and-white portraits side by side. Both men have wrinkled faces and are framed in oval shapes with a textured border. The person on the left wears a cap and a loose collar, while the one on the right has a high collar and a serious expression. The artist used a technique that creates fine, detailed lines—likely to show personality through small marks. These portraits feel very real, like sketches of people you might meet. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists carve images into metal plates.
