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 black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in his 50s or 60s. He wears a high collar, a dark robe with a chain around his neck, and a mustache and beard. His hair is curly, and he’s looking slightly to the side with a calm but firm expression. The background is plain, but the edges of the image are decorated with a woven pattern. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the face stand out clearly. This is an example of engraving.
