Amos is a 1613 ink by Theodor Galle, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking older man. He’s holding a rolled-up paper in one hand and pointing with the other, like he’s making a point. His face is wrinkled, his hair is curly, and he’s wearing a loose robe. The border around him has Latin text, including his name: *Amos*. The lines in his face and the way his robe folds show careful detail. If you like this style, look up engraving.
