Hugo Grotius is a 1674 ink by Abraham Meindersz van der Wenne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a portrait of a man with a serious expression, dressed in dark attire and a white ruffled collar. He has curly hair and a mustache. The image is framed by an oval border adorned with dots and lines, resembling a wreath. The man's gaze is directed straight ahead, and his facial features are rendered in fine detail. The background of the portrait is dark, which helps to emphasize the subject's features. The portrait is an example of Baroque art, characterized by its use of dramatic lighting and detailed realism.
