About this work

This is a portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious expression. He's wearing a collared shirt with buttons down the front. The background is dark, with some lighter shading around the subject's head. The engraving technique used here creates a lot of texture and depth. You can see the cross-hatching lines that make up the image, especially in the subject's hair and clothing.
