Sanctus Simeon is a 1744 ink by Marco Alvise Pitteri, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a bearded man in profile, looking upward. His hair is wavy, and he wears a loose collar. The background is plain, with no extra details—just his face and shoulders. The name "Sanctus Simeon" is written below, hinting at a religious figure. The artist used fine lines to create shadows, giving the image depth. Next, check out engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
