This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man with curly hair, looking off to the side. His hands are crossed over his chest, and the background is plain. Around his head is a circle with Latin words written in a neat curve. The name "Joel" is printed at the top, and the artist’s style shows careful shading with lines. This kind of detailed linework is called cross-hatching. Next, look up technique: engraving.
