John Smith is a 1716 ink by John Smith, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in old-fashioned clothes. He’s holding a small picture of a woman’s face in his left hand. His right hand rests on his chest, and he’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The background is plain and dark, so all the focus stays on him. The name at the bottom reads *Johannes C. Smith*, but that might be a mistake. The artist’s signature says *J. Smith*, and the style looks like it’s from the early 1700s. If you like this kind of portrait, look up Baroque.
