Albrecht Altdorfer is a 1648 ink by Jeremias Falck, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man with a serious expression. His face is framed by a circular border filled with swirling leaves, flowers, and vines. Above the circle, the name "Albert Altdorfer" is written in an ornate script. The detailed leaves and scrollwork around the face look like they were carved carefully. This style was common in the 1600s for formal portraits. Check out more about etching to see how artists like this made intricate prints.
