About this work

This black-and-white print shows a man in a stiff, high collar and a dark hat. His face is serious, with a thick beard and a chain around his neck. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his clothes and expression. The print was made from an original painting, as the text below says. It looks like it was copied carefully, down to the smallest folds in his collar. If you like this style, check out engraving.
