Cardinal Jules Mazarin

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He wears a dark collar and a serious expression. The background is a dark oval with swirling, decorative lines around it. Below the portrait, there are three small scenes inside a rectangular frame. The middle scene shows a group of people gathered outside a building. This is an example of engraving, a technique where artists etch lines into metal plates.
