About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious face and a mustache. He’s wearing a dark coat with a white collar, and his hands are clasped in front of him. The background is plain, and the whole image is framed inside a circle. The text below says his name is Jeremiah Burroughes and that he was a “Late Minister of the Gospel.” The artist’s name, R. Gaywood, is signed in the corner. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
