This black-and-white portrait shows a man with curly hair and a serious expression. He wears a dark coat with a high collar and a lacy ruff. The background is plain, so the focus stays on his face and clothes. The text on the right side says he was a teacher and a local leader in Helsingør. His age and job are written in old-style letters. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next—it’s the dramatic lighting trick used here.
