Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy is a 1629 ink by William Rogers, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a man in fancy 16th-century clothes. He’s wearing a big cape, striped sleeves, and a feathered hat. His left hand rests on a sword, and his right hand holds a small object. Behind him is an arched frame with tiny landscapes on either side. The text at the bottom names him Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy, but the real detail is how the artist used fine lines to build up shadows and textures. Want to see more?
