This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious face. He wears a fancy collar with buttons down the front, a cloak over his shoulders, and his hands rest on his chest. The background is plain and dark, making the face stand out. The name at the bottom reads *Gvilielmus Hondius*, which is a clue about who this might be. The lines and shading are made by an engraving tool, not paint. Check out how this was made using engraving.
