Carle Vanloo is a 1785 ink by Ignaz Sebastian Klauber, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a man in a window seat, dressed in fancy 18th-century clothes. He’s holding a book open in one hand and a flower in the other, resting his arm on the windowsill. The light falls on his face, making his curly wig and serious expression stand out. The name "Carle Vanloo" is written below the frame, but this isn’t a painting—it’s an *engraving*. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, especially in the fabric and his face. Want to know more? Try looking up engraving.
