Clergyman (?)

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a dark suit with a white collar. His hair is short and wavy, and he’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The background is plain, letting the lines of his clothes and face stand out clearly. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, especially around the collar and hair. This style was common in engravings of the time. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
