About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a round frame. He’s wearing a dark robe with a white collar and a chain around his neck that holds a cross. His face is serious, with short curly hair and a neatly trimmed beard. The border around him is packed with tiny lines and patterns, including some Latin words. The bottom has a coat of arms and the artist’s name: *Robert Nanteuil*. If you like this style, check out engraving to see how artists create detailed images with just lines.
