Philip, Count of Hohenlohe 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 inside a circular frame. His face is detailed with a short beard, curly hair, and a serious expression. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his features. The name around the frame reads *"Philip, Count of Hohenlohe."* The artist used fine lines to create shading, making the face look three-dimensional.
