Antoine le Maitre is a 1681 ink by Jacques Lubin, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a high collar. His face is framed by a round border with a decorative pattern around it. Below, a small shield or crest sits in the center of the frame. The artist used fine lines to create shading, giving the face a three-dimensional look. This kind of detailed linework is typical of engravings. Next, check out the technique called engraving.
