This engraving shows a man in armor holding a baton. The lines are sharp and precise. You can see every detail of his face and uniform. The artist used a technique called cross-hatching. This means the engraver carved tiny lines close together to create shadows and depth. It makes the image look almost three-dimensional. Next time you're at the museum, look for other engravings by Gerard Edelinck.
