This black-and-white engraving shows a man in fancy clothes, holding a glove and a hat. His face is serious, with a big beard and curly hair. Around him are symbols like a crown, shields, and a sunburst circle with the word "FILUMBR." The name "Willmus Burton de Falde" is written in a scroll above him, and the date "1622" is in the corner. The details look carved into the metal plate, not painted. Next, check out the technique: engraving.
