John Barclay

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He has curly hair, a short beard, and a ruffled collar with lace details. The lines are sharp, showing folds in his clothes and shadows on his face. The name "Ioannes Barclayus" is written at the bottom, and the artist’s signature reads "De Larmessin sculp." This suggests it’s a printed image, not painted. Want to learn more about how this kind of detailed image was made? Check out engraving.
