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 a serious expression. She wears a dark cloak over a white collar, and her hair is pulled back under a cap. The background is plain, but the edges of the frame have text in fancy script. The artist used tiny dots and lines to create the image—this is called stippling. It makes the details look soft but precise. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this made prints.
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
