Saint Mark is a 1744 ink by Marco Alvise Pitteri, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a man with a long beard and hair, wearing a robe. He is shown from the chest up, looking down at something in front of him. The background is dark, with a subtle gradient that adds depth to the image. The man's facial expression is contemplative, with a hint of concentration. His eyes are cast downward, as if he is studying something intently. The level of detail in the engraving is impressive, with fine lines and textures that give the image a sense of depth and dimensionality. The artist's use of cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of volume and texture, adding to the overall impact of the image.
