About this work

This engraving depicts a man's head and shoulders, set against a dark background. He wears a lace collar and has long hair, with a serious expression on his face. The engraving is circular, with a border of text that is partially visible. The text appears to be in Latin, but it is not fully legible. The level of detail in the engraving suggests that it was created using a technique such as cross-hatching. If you're interested in learning more about this technique, you might want to look up the artist Dutch 17th Century.
