Charles, Archduke of Austria is a 1650 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 thick beard and ruffled collar. He’s wearing a chain with a pendant and a dark, patterned coat. The background looks like a woven wall, and there’s a decorative border around him. The text at the bottom names him "Carolus Archidux Austriae," which means he’s an archduke. This kind of detailed portrait was meant to show power and status. Next, check out how this was made using engraving.
