Philippe Thibaud is a 1638 ink by Claude Mellan, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious face. He’s wearing a dark hat and a high collar, and his hair is curly. The background is just a plain oval shape with some lines around it. The artist used tiny lines to create shading, giving the face depth. The paper has a textured look, like old paper. Check out engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
