Hugo Donellus is a 1601 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 man with a serious expression. He has a large white collar, a fur-lined robe, and a thick beard. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his face. The artist used fine lines to show texture, especially in his beard and fur. The text below names the man as Hugo Donellus, but we’ll skip the Latin for now. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this carved images into metal.
