Zaccarias

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man with curly hair, looking down and to the side. He’s wearing a loose robe and holds a long staff in one hand while resting the other on his chest. The background is plain, but the edges of the oval frame have Latin text. The name “Zaccarias” is written at the top, and the artist signed it in the corner. This isn’t a painting—it’s an engraving, which means the artist etched the lines into metal. Next, check out how engraving works to see how this image was made.
