Ludovic Stuart, Duke of Lennox and Richmond is a 1621 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving is a portrait of a man with a serious expression. He is wearing a ruffled collar and a cloak, holding a staff in his right hand. The background is a plain oval shape, with a decorative border around the edge. The man's clothing and hairstyle suggest that he is a noble or aristocrat from the Renaissance period. The level of detail in the engraving, particularly in the folds of the cloak and the texture of the ruffled collar, indicates a high level of skill on the part of the artist. The artist's use of cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait. For more works like this, explore the Renaissance movement.
