Self-Portrait

About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a man’s head and shoulders. His face is wrinkled, with a long beard and deep lines. He’s wearing a fur collar and holding a globe under his arm. The lines on the globe look like latitude and longitude. The text at the bottom says this is a self-portrait of the artist. The year 1548 is written at the top. Look up etching to see how this kind of drawing was made.
