About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a bow. His collar is high, and his face is serious, with a short beard and mustache. The lines are smooth but detailed, especially around his eyes and mouth. The name at the top reads "Harry Guldeford Knight," though the text below says it’s from a drawing by Hans Holbein. The paper has small brown spots, and the edges are framed neatly. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
