This engraving shows Martin Luther in a dark coat with a white ruff. Light hits his face and hands. His eyes look straight ahead. The background is plain and dark. This was made over 400 years ago. Engravings like this spread Luther’s image across Europe. The lines are sharp and detailed, showing every wrinkle. Want to see more? Look up engraving, cross-hatching.
