About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a high collar. He’s wearing a fancy coat and looks serious. Below him is a small round picture of a landscape, and two tiny scenes at the bottom corners. The frame is thick and decorated with lines and shapes. The name at the bottom says *Jacques III, Roy d’Angleterre* (James III, King of England), but he looks young—maybe in his teens. The artist used a method that creates sharp lines and textures, not paint. If you like this style, check out etching to see how it works.
