Charles de Gonzaga and Cleves, Duke of Mantua is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white engraving shows a young man in fancy 17th-century clothes. His ruffled collar and embroidered sleeves look rich. He’s holding a glove in one hand and resting his chin on the other, with a serious but calm face. The border around him has French text naming him Charles de Gonzaga and listing his titles. The words below describe his loyalty to France. Want to see how artists used fine lines to create shadows? Look up cross-hatching.
