Henri de Lorraine, comte d'Harcourt 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 fancy lace collar and a dark coat with a bow at the neck. The background is plain, but the edges of the frame have words carved into it, like "HARCOURT" at the top. The artist used tiny dots and lines to create the texture of his hair and clothes. This style is called stippling. The name "Morin" is signed at the bottom, which matches the artist who made it. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Morin made detailed prints.
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
