1674
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Jean-Baptiste Santeuil is a 1674 ink by Gerard Edelinck, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white engraving shows a man in a long, flowing robe sitting at a desk. He’s holding a quill pen and a rolled-up paper, looking focused. Behind him, shelves hold books and a curtain frames the scene. The name at the bottom reads *Joannes Bapt. Santolius Victorinus*, hinting this might be a scholar or writer. The fine lines and shading suggest careful craftsmanship. Want to see how this style works? Check out engraving.
