Francis Manners, First Earl of Rutland is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white engraving shows a serious-looking man in old-fashioned clothes. His collar is ruffled, and he wears a chain with a fancy crest around his neck. Above his head, a scroll wraps around the image with his full title written in curly letters. The tiny lines crisscrossing his face and clothes create the shading—this is called cross-hatching. It’s a trick to make flat paper look three-dimensional. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with just lines.
