About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He wears a white collar and a dark robe over his shoulder, with a chain around his neck. The background is plain, and the edges of the picture frame are decorated with Latin words. The artist used fine lines to show the folds in his clothing and the texture of his face. This style was common in the 1600s. Next, look up etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this one.
