Richard Martin is a 1620 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving is a portrait of a man with a prominent ruff around his neck. He is wearing a dark jacket with a sash across his chest and has his right hand resting on a book. The background is plain, with a decorative oval border around the image. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The level of detail in the engraving is impressive, with intricate lines and textures that give the image depth and dimension. If you're interested in learning more about this style of engraving, you might want to look up the technique of cross-hatching.
