Christopher Fierer is a 1655 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a portrait of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a dark robe with a white collar. He is holding a book in his left hand and has a sword at his side. The background is a mottled gray. The man's attire and the style of the portrait suggest that it is from the 17th century. The level of detail in the engraving is high, with intricate cross-hatching used to create texture and shading. The level of detail and realism in this portrait is reminiscent of the work of artists from the Baroque movement.
