Pierre de Weims

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He wears a dark, high-collared coat with a small decorative cross at his chest. His curly hair and mustache frame a strong face, and he’s framed by an oval border. The text below his name calls him "Pierre de Weims," but the title is actually a misprint—it’s just his portrait. The artist used fine lines and shading to give it depth. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this carved detailed images into metal plates.
