Petrus Hogerbeets Hornanus 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 bearded man in a ruff collar. His hair is curly, and he’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The background is plain, but the edges of the image have text in a curved band around the top and sides. The Latin words around the portrait mean something like “Dare to know” and “Petrus Hogerbeets Hornanus.” That’s likely the man’s name, written in fancy old-style letters. If you like this style, check out engraving to see how artists carved these detailed lines.
