Johannes Zurenus (Jan van Zuren)

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man with a thick beard and fur collar. His hands hold a piece of paper, and his expression is serious but calm. The lines are precise, showing every wrinkle and fold in his clothes. The artist used fine, detailed lines to create depth and texture, a technique called cross-hatching. This style was common in Renaissance engravings. Next, look up technique: engraving to see how artists like this made prints.
