About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly white hair and a serious expression. His face is framed by a circular border, and above his head sits a crown of leaves. The background is plain, with only the name "CARLO VANLOO" printed below the portrait. The crown of leaves above his head is a common symbol for victory or honor in portraits. This print was made using a technique that creates fine lines and textures. Next, look up the technique called etching.
