About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a thick mustache and ruffled collar. His hair is short, and he’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The background is plain, but the edges of the image are decorated with swirls and text in a fancy script. The name at the bottom reads *Johannes Angelius Werdenhagen*, and the date 1631 is written at the top. The artist signed it as *Andr. Cramerus Iun. Magdeb.*, which means this is an old print, not a painting. If you like this style, check out engraving to see how artists carved these detailed images.
