John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy is a 1650 ink by Jonas Suyderhoff, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in a dark hat and fur collar. His face is framed by a wreath of leaves, flowers, and ribbons. The background is filled with intricate swirls and small details that look hand-carved. The text at the bottom names him "Joannes Ditus Intrepidus," which might be a title or nickname. The artist signed it with a strange name: Suyderhoff. Next, look up etching to see how this kind of printmaking works.
Jonas Suyderhoff (1613–1686) was a Dutch artist, born in Leiden.
