About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a dark coat and white cravat. His face is framed by a wreath of leaves and a fancy border. Below his name, "D. Pineau Sculpteur," is printed in bold letters. The wreath and the word "Sculpteur" (French for "sculptor") hint that this man was a sculptor. The image looks like it was made using a printing technique that creates fine lines. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
