Philippe II, King of Spain 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 a serious expression. He wears a fancy fur collar and a dark coat with detailed buttons. His beard is neatly trimmed, and his hair is short and curly. The edges of the picture have fancy lines and text around it, giving it a framed look. The artist used a mix of shading and lines to show his face and clothes. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
