Emmerich is a 1634 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a small harbor town with three ships in the water. The biggest ship has a tall sail with striped patterns, and a flag flutters on its mast. Behind it, a church with a tall steeple and other buildings line the shore. The town is labeled *Emmerich*, and the artist used fine lines to capture details like the waves and sails. This is a type of print called an etching. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this made prints.
