This black-and-white portrait shows a man with curly hair and a fur-lined coat. His face is serious, and he wears a high-collared shirt with ruffles. Below him is a shield with a crown and some symbols. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, especially in the fur and hair. This was a common way to make engravings look detailed. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made prints.
