About this work

This is a portrait of a man with long, wavy hair and a mustache. He's wearing a dark jacket with a white collar and a dark vest over it. The background is light-colored with thin, diagonal lines. The man's face is turned slightly to the right, and he's looking straight ahead. His hair is parted in the middle, and it falls to his shoulders. He has a serious expression. The portrait is an engraving, which means it was made by carving a design onto a metal plate and then printing it onto paper. If you're interested in learning more about this technique, you might want to look up "engraving" next.
