This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious face. He’s wearing a fancy lace cravat and a dark jacket with metal buttons. His right hand rests on a helmet, which has a simple design. The artist used shading to make the face and clothes look three-dimensional. This style was common in the 1600s. Look up Baroque to see more portraits like this one.
