About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a dark, buttoned jacket with a high collar. The background is simple, with a round frame and some decorative lines. At the bottom, there’s a small crest with a shield and symbols. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, making the fabric look textured. This kind of detailed line work is called cross-hatching.
