Jean du Verger de Hauranne 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 serious-looking man with a full beard and mustache. He’s wearing a striped shirt with a high collar and a small decorative emblem pinned at his chest. The background is plain, but the edges of the frame are packed with fancy lettering and swirls. The text around him spells out his name in big, bold letters—*Jean du Verger de Hauranne*—and there’s a poem below, probably about his life or work. The whole thing looks like it was carefully carved into the paper. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists create these detailed prints.
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
