Title Page is a 1628 ink by Herman van Swanevelt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a woman in fancy clothes holding up a framed picture of a landscape. She’s standing on a pedestal with a small crowd gathered around her. In the background, there’s a cityscape and a tree, while smaller scenes peek out from the sides like tiny windows. The text at the top names the artist—Herman van Swanevelt—and says this is a dedication to "the virtuous." It looks like a book cover for a collection of views from Rome. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Swanevelt made detailed prints.
