Marc Antonis De Dominis is a 1598 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man with a long beard and serious expression. He’s wearing a patterned robe and holds a small object in his right hand. Around his head is a decorative border with Latin words and two shields. The text below the portrait is a poem welcoming him back from Rome. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and textures, giving the image depth. Next, look up engraving to see how this technique works.
