Charles Emmanuel I, Prince of Piedmont is a 1613 ink by Jacobus Laurus Romanus, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a bearded man in fancy clothes. He’s wearing a ruffled collar, a heavy chain around his neck, and a cloak with swirling patterns. His right hand holds a long key-shaped object, and his left rests on a curved staff. Around the edges, there’s text in Latin and two small crests. The intricate lines and shading create deep shadows, making his face look detailed and three-dimensional. The artist used tiny parallel lines (cross-hatching) to build up the dark areas.
