Bust of a Bearded Warrior is a 1626 ink by Johann Heinrich Schönfeld, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a bearded man wearing a fancy hat. His face is rough and textured, almost like stone. The hat has big feathers and a dark band around it. The paper looks old and worn, with lines running across it. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch into the metal plate before printing. This made the lines look bold and deep. The style fits a time when art was dramatic and full of energy. Look up etching to see how this print was made.
Johann Heinrich Schönfeld (1609–1684) was an artist, born in Biberach an der Riß.
