Antonia Lotharingica is a 1599 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with big, curly hair and a stiff white collar. She wears a dark dress with a row of tiny circles sewn down the front. Her sleeves are puffy, and she has a serious look on her face. The artist used sharp lines and shading to show her clothes and jewelry. The text around the edge is in Latin and looks fancy, like a signature. Next, check out how engraving works to see how artists create these detailed prints.
