This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in a dark, ruffled shirt. His curly hair and beard frame a strong face. Around him, two cherubs hold up a banner with Latin words. The edges of the picture are packed with fancy scrolls, shields, and more tiny figures. The man’s name is written in Latin at the top: *Fridericus Achilles*. The artist signed it in the corner, but the date is missing. Next, check out engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
