Hosiah 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 bearded man with curly hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a high-collared robe, and his hands rest on his knees. The background is plain, but the edges of the oval frame curve inward like a window. The artist used fine lines to show texture—notice the wrinkles in his face and the folds in his clothing. This kind of careful linework is typical of the time. If you like this style, look up engraving.
