Francois Maynard

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s wearing a dark, patterned robe and a white collar. His hair and mustache are neatly trimmed. The background is plain, but the oval shape around him is lined with text. The name "Francois Maynard" is written along the oval’s edge. This engraving was made in 1646, and the artist’s signature is at the bottom. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
