Ezechial 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 wearing a loose robe with a high collar and a chain around his neck. His hands are clasped in front of him, and his head is turned slightly to the side. The name "Ezechiel" is written at the top, and the border has Latin text. The lines are made by etching, which creates a detailed, shadowy effect. Next, look up engraving to see how this technique works.
