Charles I de Crequi, Duke of Lesdiguières is a 1633 ink by Claude Mellan, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a beard. He’s wearing a fancy lace collar and a dark jacket with buttons. The background is plain, and his face looks serious. The name around the oval reads *Charles I de Crequi, Duke of Lesdiguières*. The artist signed it in 1633, and the lines are made by etching into the paper. Check out how the artist used engraving to create all those tiny details.
