About this work

This etching shows a man from behind, wearing a fancy hat with a plume. He's dressed in 17th-century clothing, with a sword at his side. In the background, there are a few other figures, but they're not as detailed. The man in the foreground is the main focus of the picture. The artist who made this etching was a master of the Baroque style.
