Thomas Becon, Protestant Divine 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 a bearded man in a cap and fur collar. He’s holding a small book or paper in his left hand, while his right hand rests on his chest. The background is a dark, textured pattern with fine lines, giving it depth. The name “Thomas Becon” is written below, along with a Latin phrase. This was made as an engraving, which means the artist etched the design into metal and then printed it. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
Magdalena van de Passe (1620–1620) was an artist.
