The Veil of Saint Veronica is a 1668 ink by Nicolas de Plattemontagne, a Baroque work, depicting Beheaded Head, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a woman holding a veil with an image of a face on it. The veil is a symbol of faith and the story behind it is interesting. It's a story from the Bible, and the artist chose to depict it in a simple way. The artist used a technique to create this image, similar to what you'd see if you looked up the technique of engraving.
