1601
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ernest of Austria, Archduke, Governor of the Spanish Netherlands is a 1601 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a portrait of a man with a mustache and short hair. He's wearing a fancy outfit with lots of details, like lace and metal pieces. The background is dark, which makes the man stand out. If you look closely, you can see that the artist used a special technique called engraving to make the picture. It's like drawing with a needle on a metal plate. The artist also used cross-hatching to create shadows and make the picture look more real. The artist who made this portrait is Passe I, Crispijn van de.
Crispijn van de Passe I (1564–1637) was an artist, born in Arnemuiden.
