About this work

This engraving depicts a regal figure, likely a king, with long hair and a beard. He wears a crown adorned with jewels and holds a scepter in his right hand. A circular frame surrounds the image, featuring text that is partially legible. The king's attire is ornate, with a cloak and a collar that suggests wealth and status. The background of the engraving is dark, which helps to highlight the king's features and clothing. The level of detail in the engraving suggests that it was created using a technique such as cross-hatching. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of engraving.
