Title Page is a 1628 ink by Herman van Swanevelt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a large stone monument with a Latin inscription. Two men in robes stand in front of it, while another figure walks in the distance. The scene is set in a rural landscape with trees and a hill in the background. The monument dominates the center of the image, with the inscription taking up most of its surface. The men in front of it seem to be studying the text, while the figure in the distance is walking away from the monument. The overall mood of the image is one of contemplation and study.
