Hendrik Goltzius, Pictor et Sculptor is a 1617 ink by Gerard Edelinck, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows a man with a long white beard and mustache, wearing a dark robe and a matching hat. He holds a piece of paper in his left hand, and his right hand grasps a tool, possibly a pencil or a stylus. The man's gaze is directed to the left, and his facial expression is serious. The background of the portrait is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The level of detail in this engraving suggests that it was created using a technique like cross-hatching.
