This black-and-white print shows a serious-looking man in a round frame. His face is detailed, with a beard and a high collar. Around him are small pictures of people, tools, and a shield with a coat of arms. Above his head, two winged figures hold up a banner with letters. The words around the man’s face say his name: Georg Tradel. The artist signed it in the corner. The whole thing looks like it was carved into metal. Check out how this was made with engraving.
