Anton Triest is a 1632 ink by Pieter de Jode II, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a long beard and mustache. He’s wearing a ruffled collar and a draped cloak over his shoulders. His face is turned slightly to the side, and he looks thoughtful. The background is dark, so the focus stays on his face and clothing. The artist used fine lines to show the folds in his clothing and the texture of his beard. The name at the bottom is hard to read, but it’s a classic style from long ago.
