Eva Fliegen is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a serious-looking man in a dark robe and hat. His hands hold a small bunch of grapes, and above his head is a coat of arms with a tree. Around the edges, there’s text in a fancy script, like a poem or a motto. The words around him talk about food and hard times, which fits the Romantic style—dramatic and emotional. The lines on his face and the way he grips the grapes make him look tired but determined. Want to see how this kind of detailed linework is made? Look up engraving.
