About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in profile, facing left. His hair is short and curly, and he wears a dark coat with a high collar. The background is plain black, framing his face and shoulders in a round shape. The text around the image calls him Pietro Moscati, but no other details are visible. The paper looks old and slightly yellowed. Next, look up etching to see how this print was made.
