Elias Taddel is a 1634 ink by Crispijn van de Passe II, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a serious-looking man in his 50s. He wears a dark, high-collared coat and a beret, with a long beard and mustache. His left hand holds an open book, while his right hand rests on a small hourglass. Behind him, a desk holds a quill, inkwell, and a few scattered papers. The text below his name calls him a pastor and theology professor, now in Amsterdam. The engraving’s fine lines show deep shadows and texture, making his face and clothes look almost three-dimensional. This is an example of engraving.
Crispijn van de Passe II (1597–1670) was an artist.
