Violinist is a 1621 ink by Edouard Eckman, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two people walking side by side, each carrying a violin. They wear tall hats with feathers and loose, old-fashioned clothes. The lines are simple and sharp, like a sketch. Notice how the violins are almost as big as the people themselves. The artist used a method where the image is carved into wood, then inked and pressed onto paper. Next, look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
