Robert van Voerst is a 1616 ink by Robert van Voerst, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a ruffled collar and a dark coat, looking serious. The background is plain, so all the focus is on his face and hands. The name at the bottom says *Robertus van Voerst, Calcographus Londini*, which means this is an engraved portrait, not a painting. The lines are sharp and detailed, showing how skilled the artist was with this technique. If you like this style, check out more about engraving.
