About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache, dressed in a dark coat. His face is the main focus, set against a plain background. Around the edges, there’s fancy writing and symbols, including the words "Northumberland" and "Honour and Loyalty." The text at the bottom names him as "Algeron Percy," with titles like Earl of Northumberland. The artist’s name, Cornelis van Dalen, is also written there. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
