Isabella Clara Eugenie as a Nun is a 1635 ink by Lucas Emil Vorsterman, a Renaissance work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman wearing a nun’s habit. Her head is covered with a veil, and she holds a rosary in her hands. The lines on her face are deep, and her expression is serious. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, especially on her clothing and hair. This was a common way to add depth in engravings. Next, look up how cross-hatching works to see how artists built up shading like this.
