1611
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vincent Muschinger is a 1611 ink by Aegidius Sadeler II, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a thick beard and mustache. He wears a ruffled collar and a chain around his neck. The background is plain, but the edges of the image have fancy scrollwork with Latin words. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, especially on his face and clothes. This is an engraving, not a painting. Next, look up *engraving* to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
Aegidius Sadeler or Aegidius Sadeler II (1570–1629) was a Flemish engraver who was principally active at the Prague court of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor and his successors.
