From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Jean-Pierre Sarrazin is a 1656 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a high collar. His face is the main focus, framed inside a circle. Around the circle, there’s a pattern of musical notes and lines. Below, there’s text in French. The name at the bottom reads *Jean-Pierre Sarrazin*, and the year is 1656. The artist used fine lines to create shading and detail, which is typical of this style. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this one made prints.
