This etching shows a man's face, looking down and slightly to the right. He's wearing a round hat with a wide brim, and his long hair is visible underneath. His face is lined, and his expression is serious. The man's features are detailed, with deep lines etched into his face. His eyes are cast downward, and his eyebrows are furrowed. The hat and hair frame his face, drawing attention to his features. The etching is a portrait of a peasant, and it's held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
