About this work

The image is an oval portrait of a man with long, curly hair and a dark jacket. He has a white collar and a brooch on his jacket. The portrait is surrounded by a circular frame with text at the top and bottom. The background of the portrait is dark, which helps the subject stand out. The engraving technique used in this portrait is notable for its level of detail and texture. The artist has used cross-hatching to create shading and depth in the image, giving it a sense of volume and dimensionality.
