Title Page is a 1628 ink by Herman van Swanevelt, a Baroque work, depicting Sheet Music, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a small etching on paper. It shows a curly-haired figure holding a scroll. The face is blank, like a mask. It looks like a book cover, not a real scene. The lines are scratchy but clear—drypoint work. You can see the scratches that made those lines. Try a close look at the National Gallery of Art, Washington etching collection.
