Bust of a Young Man is a 1613 ink by Christoffel van Sichem I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a young man’s head and shoulders. His hair is curly and wild, framing his face, which looks serious and focused. The lines are thick and detailed, especially around his collar and the folds of his clothing. The artist used a woodcut method, which means the image was carved into wood and then printed. This style was common in the early 1600s. Next, check out woodcut to see how artists created prints like this one.
