Henry de Lorraine, Third Duc de Guise is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in fancy armor and a ruffled collar. His face is serious, with a short beard and dark hair. Behind him, a shield with a crest and a key-shaped object sit on a ledge. The lines are sharp and detailed, showing texture in his clothes and armor. The name at the top reads *"M. le Duc de Guyss"*, hinting this is a nobleman. The artist used cross-hatching—tiny parallel lines—to create shadows and depth.
