Michel de Marillac 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 bearded man in a dark, ruffled collar. His hands rest on his chest, and he wears a stiff, high-necked garment. The background is plain, but the edges of the frame are filled with fancy lettering spelling out his name and titles. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth in the fabric and skin. This style was common in the 1600s. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
