1581
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Charlotte of Bourbon is a 1581 ink by Hendrik Goltzius, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white picture of a woman. She wears a fancy dark dress with ruffled collar and cuffs. Her hands rest on a chair, and she sits in front of a round frame filled with small drawings and odd shapes. The border looks like it was carved into metal. Tiny lines make up the details, like hair and fabric. The words around her are in Latin and look old. Next, check out how artists used engraving to create detailed prints like this.
Hendrick Goltzius (German: , Dutch: ; né Goltz; January or February 1558 – 1 January 1617) was a German-born Dutch printmaker, draftsman, and painter.
