About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a person with a serious face and a long beard. They’re wearing a hat with feathers or leaves sticking out, and their hands are clasped together. The background looks like a rough, textured shape around their head. The artist used a technique that creates fine lines and shading, perfect for showing detail in the face and hat. This style was popular for portraits in the late 1700s. Check out how this was made using etching.
