1650
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Charles, Prince of Wales is a 1650 ink by Dutch 17th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a man's head and shoulders, facing left. He has a high collar and a cloak with a fur trim. The circular frame around him has text, but it's hard to read. The man's hair is styled in a fashionable way, and his expression is serious. The engraving is detailed, with lots of fine lines and textures. It's a good example of Baroque art, with its use of light and shadow to create depth. If you like this style, you might want to learn more about the Baroque movement.
This Dutch artist made small, sharp engravings and etchings—mostly portraits and sea battles—printed from metal plates.
