Johannes Theodorus de Bry is a 1615 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a man in fancy clothes. He’s sitting, holding a book with a small picture on it. His left arm has a glove with dots on it, and his right hand rests on a table. The background is plain, but there’s text around him in a border. The book he holds shows a tiny scene of people and a ship. The artist used fine lines to build up shadows and details, making the image look detailed even though it’s just ink. This is an example of engraving.
