About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair tied back. He’s wearing a high collar and a ruffled shirt. The image is framed by a wreath-like border with leaves and swirls around the edges. The name “Francois de Regny” is printed below the portrait, along with the words “Comte de France à Genes.” The artist used fine lines to create texture in his hair and clothing. Look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
