The Baptism of the Eunuch is a 1641 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a group of people gathered around a central figure kneeling in water. One man stands tall with a spear and feathered hat, while others hold staffs or lean in. The scene looks busy, with rough, swirling lines and a sense of movement. The artist used a technique called drypoint to scratch directly into the metal plate, creating fuzzy textures. This made the lines look uneven and expressive. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Rembrandt made prints like this.
