Jan Cornelisz Sylvius is a 1757 ink by Thomas Worlidge, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows an older man with a long white beard and fur collar. He’s holding a book open in front of him, looking down at it. The drawing is dark and detailed, especially around his face and hands. The paper looks old and yellowed, like it’s been around for a while. The artist signed it in the corner, but the name is hard to read. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how this kind of print was made.
