About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in fancy clothes. His collar is wide and ruffled, and he wears a chain around his neck. Around his head is a wreath with words in Latin, and below it are two small shields with symbols. The Latin words say things like "King of Spain" and "Hope for the Future." The artist signed it at the bottom, but the name is hard to read up close. If you like this style, look up engraving.
