About this work

This is a black-and-white print of a man’s face. He wears a tall hat with a feather tucked in. His collar is fancy, with a chain and a small ornament. The background is plain, and the whole image is inside a rounded frame. The text below says his name and that he was a leader. The print looks old, like it was made by hand. Look up Baroque next to see more art from this time.
