This engraving shows a man in a dark coat with curled hair and a serious face. He’s holding a small book or paper in one hand while resting his other arm on a ledge. Around him are fancy swirls, grapes, and a crest at the top—like a coat of arms. The text below his name calls him a "poet" and mentions his work for King Charles. The lines and shading give it a textured, almost 3D look. Next, check out engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
