About this work

This image shows a black and white engraving of a man. He wears a hat and a fur-trimmed coat, and he has a long white beard. The background is dark, with lighter shading around the man's head. The engraving is detailed, with many fine lines that create texture and depth. The man's face is serious, with a slight furrow between his eyebrows. His eyes look straight ahead, and his mouth is set in a firm line. If you like this kind of detailed, realistic art, you might want to look up more works by Magdalena van de Passe.
