About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious expression. He’s framed inside a circular border, looking slightly to the side. Above his head, there’s a decorative wreath with leaves and a ribbon. The name "Charles Duclos" is written below the portrait, which suggests this is a formal image of a person. The lines are precise, showing the artist’s skill in capturing details. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
