About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man in a dark hat and fur-lined coat. He holds a small object in his right hand, like a ring or key, and his left hand rests on his chest. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face and clothes. The text below his name calls him a painter, and the style looks like it was made by pressing lines into metal. This was a common way to make many copies of a single image back then. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
