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 a bearded man in a robe, looking straight ahead. His hands rest on a book or paper. Around his head is a fancy banner with Latin words, and two shields sit on either side of it. The background is plain, but the edges have swirling designs and more text. The text below the portrait is a poem welcoming the man as a "graue Primate" and praising his work. The artist’s name, *R. Elstracke*, is signed at the bottom. This is an example of engraving, where lines are carved into metal to print the image.
