Andreas Rivetus is a 1621 ink by Simon van de Passe, 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 wearing a dark collar and a white ruff around his neck. His beard is neatly trimmed, and he’s looking straight ahead. The background is plain, but the edges of the frame have a woven or patterned look. The name at the bottom reads *Andreas Rivetus*, with titles like "Doctor & Professor." The text above his head is in an old-style script, adding to the formal feel. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists carved these detailed images.
