Anne of Austria is a 1625 ink by Jean Morin, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with curly hair and a high collar. She wears a pearl necklace and holds a small cross in her hand. The background is plain, but the edges of the frame have fancy, swirling text. The artist used a technique called stippling—tiny dots to create shading. This made the image look detailed even without color. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one made prints.
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
