Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester is a 1620 ink by Willem de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a long beard and mustache. He wears a fancy hat with feathers and a chain around his neck. The background is dark, and his face is lit from the side, making his features stand out. The text around the portrait calls him "Robertus Comes Leycester" (Robert, Earl of Leicester). The image is made using fine lines, giving it a textured look. Next, check out how this was made with engraving.
Willem de Passe (1598–1637) was an artist, born in Cologne.
