Johannes Hoornbeeck is a 1651 ink by Jonas Suyderhoff, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. His dark hair is slightly wavy, and he wears a mustache and goatee. The collar of his shirt is visible under a dark jacket with small buttons down the front. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth in the face and fabric. This kind of detailed linework is typical of the time. Look up engraving to see how artists create images like this using only a sharp tool.
