Albrecht Durer is a 1608 ink by Lucas Kilian, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with long curly hair and a thick beard. He’s wearing a fur-lined robe over a dark shirt, and his hands rest on a small ledge. The background is plain, but his face looks serious, almost intense. The text at the top calls him *Albrecht Dürer*, a famous artist. This print was made in 1608 by Lucas Kilian, who copied Dürer’s original image. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like Kilian carved these detailed lines.
Lucas Kilian (Lucas Kilianus Augustanus; 1579–1637) was a German engraver and etcher from the Kilian family of engravers in Augsburg.
