Wolfgang-Wilhelm, Count of Pfalz-Neuburg and Duke of Julich-Berg is a 1640 ink by Theodor Matham, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a portrait of a man with a mustache and a hat. He is wearing a dark jacket with a white collar and a pendant around his neck. The background is dark, and the man is shown from the chest up. The man's face is serious, and he is looking straight ahead. His hair is curly, and his mustache is well-groomed. The pendant around his neck is small and delicate. This portrait is an example of Baroque art, characterized by its use of dramatic lighting and detailed textures. The artist, Matham, Theodor, used engraving and cross-hatching techniques to create a sense of depth and dimensionality.
