Lucas van Uden is a 1634 ink by Lucas Emil Vorsterman, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in profile. His curly hair and beard are detailed, and he wears a ruffled collar with lace trim. One hand rests on his chest, while the other holds a folded cloth or glove. The name at the bottom reads *Lucas van Uden*, but this is actually an engraving, not a painting. The artist’s signature and the word *Pictor* (Latin for "painter") suggest this honors a real person, but the style is all about the printmaking. Try looking up engraving to see how artists like this carved images into metal plates.
