About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a high collar and looks serious. The image is framed by a decorative border with swirls and leaves at the bottom. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, especially in the hair and collar. This style was common in the 1600s for detailed portraits. Look up etching to see how artists like this made precise prints.
