Sir Henry Sidney, Lord Deputy of Ireland 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 white beard and curly hair under a dark hat. He’s wearing a ruffled collar and a chain around his neck, looking serious. The image is framed by a decorative border with letters around it. The print uses fine lines to create shading, which gives the face texture and depth. This technique is called cross-hatching. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
Willem de Passe (1598–1637) was an artist, born in Cologne.
