Jan Bruegel the Elder is a 1634 ink by Anthony van Dyck, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a big beard and a ruff collar. His hands rest on his chest, and his face looks serious. The lines are rough and sketchy, almost like a drawing. The name at the bottom reads *Ioannes Brevgel*, but the artist’s signature says *Ant. van Dyck*. This is a print, not a painting, made using metal plates. Look up etching to see how artists like Van Dyck made prints this way.
Sir Anthony van Dyck (; Dutch: Antoon van Dijck ; 22 March 1599 – 9 December 1641) was a Flemish Baroque artist, who became the leading court painter in England after success in the Spanish Netherlands and Italy.
