Jeremiah 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 with curly hair and a serious expression. His hands are clasped together in front of him, and he’s wearing a loose robe. The background is plain, but his face and hands are detailed with fine lines. The name "Jeremias" is written at the top, hinting this is a religious figure. The artist used cross-hatching—lots of tiny parallel lines—to create shadows and texture. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints with just a burin and ink.
