Sir Philip Sidney 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 portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s framed by a decorative oval border with swirls and letters around it. The lines are sharp and detailed, especially around his face and collar. The text below is in French, describing the man’s life. The artist used fine lines and shading to give the portrait depth.
