Daniel 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 man with curly hair and a beard. He’s dressed in a loose robe, sitting with one hand resting on his chest and the other tucked under his arm. The background is plain, but his face and shoulders are sharply detailed, with lines showing folds in his clothes and skin. The name “Daniel” is written at the top, and the artist’s name appears along the sides. This is an old print, not a painting—it’s made by carving lines into metal and pressing ink onto paper. If you like this style, look up engraving.
