1666
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Etienne-Jehannot de Bartillat is a 1666 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a man in a dark coat with a white lace collar. His face is carved with careful lines. The background is plain, so the face stands out. Engraving means the artist cut the image into metal. Then ink fills the cuts. This print uses cross-hatching—tiny lines that make shadows and texture. Look for Nanteuil, Robert to see more prints like this.
Robert Nanteuil (French pronunciation: ; 1623 – 9 December 1678) was a French portrait artist: engraver, draughtsman and pastellist to the court of Louis XIV.
