Joannes Adams is a 1601 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s wearing a ruffled collar and a dark, patterned jacket. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face. The text around the image is in Latin, which often meant important titles back then. This one looks like it’s naming the man and listing his roles.
