Landscape is a 1612 ink by Antoine Jacquard, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a detailed circular design with a small landscape at its center. The middle picture has a church, a few buildings, and a winding river with tiny figures along the bank. Around it, there are repeating patterns of leaves, swirls, and dots in black and white. The outer frame looks like it was carved or etched into the surface, creating a textured look. This kind of image was made by cutting into a metal plate, then pressing ink onto paper. Look up engraving to see how this technique works.
