Ionas is a 1613 ink by Theodor Galle, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a bearded man in a dark robe. His hands are busy adjusting his collar, and his face looks serious. The background is plain, but there’s a small, fuzzy image of a child’s face tucked inside the robe’s fold. The text around the edges is in Latin, and the name "Ionas" is written at the top. The lines in the print are all made by scratching into the metal plate—this is called engraving. Next, check out how engraving works.
