Cosimo II de' Medici is a 1615 ink by Albert Muret, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a black-and-white portrait of a man with a high collar and curly hair, framed by a circle. Around him, swirling lines and shapes fill the space like a busy border. The top has a banner with Latin words, and the bottom reads *"Albertus Muretus Gallus Inventor."* The portrait looks like it was carved into metal instead of painted. The Latin words at the top likely describe the man’s interests or titles. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
