John Caius, Co-Founder of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge is a 1620 ink by Magdalena van de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man with a long beard and curly hair. He’s wearing a fur collar and a dark robe. The background is plain, so all the focus is on his face and shoulders. The name at the bottom reads *Io. Caius Medicvs*, which is Latin for John Caius. The text also says this was made by an artist with the last name *Passe*. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this one create detailed images with just ink and lines.
Magdalena van de Passe (1620–1620) was an artist.
