Jerome Franck

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s wearing a dark collar with a ruffled white edge, and his hair is curly and long. The background looks like a simple frame with diagonal lines, almost like a window or a stage. The name at the bottom reads *Jerome Franck*, but the artist’s name, *Morin*, is also signed here. The lines in the face and clothes are made by tiny, repeated marks—this isn’t paint, it’s etched into the surface. Look up engraving to see how artists like this carved fine details into metal plates.
