Annibale Carracci is a 1750 ink by Italian 18th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait drawn with fine lines. The face looks older, with a thick beard and curly hair. The person is wearing a ruffled collar, and the background is plain. Above the head, the words "ANIBAL. CARAS. PICTOR" are written in capital letters. The lines are made using a technique that creates texture, almost like scratching into the paper. This style was often used for detailed portraits in the 1700s. Next, check out technique: etching.
This Italian artist carved bronze figures in the 18th century, blending myth and motion in metal.
