This print shows a man in a ruffled collar with a serious face. His name is Nicholas Lanier, a musician who worked for England’s king. The artist carved this image from a metal plate. Jan Lievens made many prints like this. He lived in the 1600s and knew famous artists such as Rembrandt. This quiet print hides a lot of skill in every line. See more works by Lievens at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
