Lewis Roberts is a 1637 ink by George Glover, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious face and a dark, ruffled collar. His hair is short and curly, and he wears a patterned jacket. The image is framed by a woven border with text around it, like a name and some old-fashioned words. The print looks like it was made by scratching lines into metal—a method called *engraving*. The shading comes from tiny parallel lines, which make the face pop out. Check out how this was made with engraving.
