Adam van Noort

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man in a ruff collar. His hair is curly, and he’s wearing a chain around his neck. The background is plain, with just a dark frame behind his head. The artist signed it “Adamus Van Noort” and added “Antwerpie Pictor Iconum,” which means he was a painter from Antwerp. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
