John Harington, First Baron of Exton is a 1620 ink by Magdalena van de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white portrait shows a serious man in his 50s with curly hair, a full beard, and a ruff collar. His gaze is steady, and he wears a dark, patterned jacket. The oval frame has text around it in fancy script. The name "John Harington" is written on the frame, marking this as a formal portrait. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the face look almost three-dimensional. Want to see how this technique works? Check out engraving.
