George Chapman

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man with curly hair and a serious expression. His face fills most of the image, framed by a circular border with text around it. Below the circle, there’s more writing in neat, old-fashioned handwriting. The text around the face spells out the name "George Chapman," and the bottom notes it’s from *The Whole Works of Homer* (1616). The artist used fine lines to create shading and detail, giving the face a three-dimensional look. Next, look up engraving to see how this technique works.
