Marc Antonio de Dominis is a 1636 ink by Paul Furst, a Baroque 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. His face is framed by an ornate, swirling border filled with Latin text. The lines are sharp and detailed, showing wrinkles and the texture of his hair and collar. The border around his face includes his name and titles, written in fancy script. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and depth, making the portrait look almost three-dimensional. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists use lines to build up light and shadow.
