This engraving shows a man with a beard and hat, holding a book. He's wearing a dark robe over a lighter shirt, and his sleeves are rolled up. The man is looking to the right, and his face is serious. The engraving has a lot of detail, with cross-hatching used to create shading and texture. The man's clothes and the book he's holding are all rendered in intricate detail. The artist who made this engraving was Larmessin IV, Nicolas de.
