Vincent le Blanc of Marseilles is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a man in old-fashioned clothes, standing confidently with one hand on his hip and the other holding a walking stick. His hat has a wide brim, and his boots look sturdy. Behind him, there’s a simple landscape with a distant building and a road winding through flat land. The artist used lots of tiny parallel lines to create shadows and texture—this is called cross-hatching. It gives the whole image a detailed, almost 3D look.
