1619
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Frederick Henry of Nassau is a 1619 ink by Claes Jansz Visscher, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving is a portrait of a man with a ruffled collar and dark clothing. The man's face is the main focus, with his hair styled in a short, curly fashion. The engraving is done in a detailed style, with cross-hatching used to create shading and texture. The man's clothing and the background are rendered in fine lines, giving the image a sense of depth and dimension. The level of detail in this engraving is impressive, with even the smallest features of the man's face and clothing carefully rendered.
