This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a ruffled collar. His face is framed by a round border with swirling decorations at the top and bottom. The man’s expression is calm, and his hands rest on his chest. The artist signed the print in the lower right corner. The style looks like it was made by etching or engraving, which was common for portraits in the past. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this portrait in person.
