This is a black-and-white engraving of an older man with a long beard and hooded robe. He sits holding an open book in his lap, his hands resting on the pages. His face looks serious, with deep lines and a slight frown. The border around him is filled with tiny cross-hatching lines, giving the image texture. Below the picture, there’s a short poem about seeing both his outward appearance and his inner self through the book. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed images this way.
