Henri de Guenegaud

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a dark collar and looks serious. The background is just a plain oval shape, but the edges have fine lines that make it look textured. Below the portrait is a small shield with a coat of arms—two lions and some buildings. The artist’s name, *Nanteuil*, is written near the bottom right. This is an example of engraving, where the artist carved lines into metal to make the print.
