This is an engraving of a man in a dark robe with a ruffled collar, holding a scroll in his right hand. He is sitting in a chair with two decorative finials, and the background is a series of horizontal lines. The man's attire and the style of the engraving suggest that it is a portrait from the Baroque period. The level of detail in the engraving, particularly in the folds of the man's robe, is impressive. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this engraving, you might want to look up Cross, Thomas.
