About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man with a long white beard and curly hair. He’s wearing a dark, textured robe with a high collar and holding a small object in his right hand. The background is plain, and the face looks serious, with deep lines around the eyes and mouth. The name at the bottom reads *Johannes von den Popeliere*, and the text mentions his age and a dedication. The artist’s name, *Sebastian Furck*, is also signed here. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like Furck created detailed images using only lines.
