Chancellor Michel Le Tellier

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair, a mustache, and a serious expression. He’s wearing a fancy collar and a dark robe with a lace cuff peeking out. The background is simple, but his face is the focus, framed by a curved border. The name "Michel Le Tellier" is written below, and the artist’s style shows fine details in the hair and fabric. This is an engraving, not a painting, so the lines create shadows and texture. Next, check out engraving to see how artists use lines to make depth.
