Armand de Bourbon-Conti 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 man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a lace collar and a cross necklace over a dark jacket. The background is a plain oval frame with a decorative border. The artist used tiny dots and lines to create the texture of his clothes and skin. This technique makes the image look detailed but also soft. Look up etching to see how artists like this made prints with needles and acid.
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
