Francis Paget, Jesuit Priest is a 1602 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, depicting Francis of Assisi, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a black-and-white image of a man in a robe with a tall, pleated collar. His hands hold a book and rosary, eyes calm but direct. The artist used tiny lines to shade his face, making it feel real under the light. This engraving dates to 1602, when priests like him often posed this way. The tiny marks in the background create space without any color. Look up the National Gallery of Art, Washington to see this print.
