About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a neatly trimmed beard. He’s wearing a dark, ruffled collar shirt with buttons down the front. The background is plain, and the edges of the picture frame have fancy carved letters around it. The name at the top reads *Francois de Villemontee*, but the artist signed the bottom as *Morin*. The lines are sharp, which is typical for this kind of print. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists create these detailed prints.
