This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a white collar and a dark coat. The background is a simple oval shape with some geometric patterns around it. The man’s face is detailed, showing wrinkles and a serious expression. Below the oval, there’s a small shield with a coat of arms. This is an *engraving*, which means it was carved into metal and then printed.
