"Trijn Bulle-bacx" and "Voorsichtighe Oenne" 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, each framed in an oval. The person on the left wears a loose robe with a hood and looks straight ahead, their face lined with age. The person on the right has a flat cap pulled low and a beard, also staring forward with a serious expression. The artist used fine lines to capture wrinkles and textures, like the folds in the fabric or the stubble on the beards. These portraits were made using a technique that lets artists draw directly onto a metal plate. Next, look up etching to see how it works.
