This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man in a dark, buttoned robe. His face is serious, with deep lines around his eyes and mouth. Around his head is a wreath of leaves and a crest above, with Latin words wrapped in scrolls on either side. The text below his portrait talks about his work describing nature and reason. The artist’s name, *Thomas de Leu*, is signed in the corner. Want to know more about how this was made? Look up engraving.
