About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious face. He wears a white ruff collar and a dark jacket with a high neckline. The background is plain, and his name is written in a circle around his head. The text says his name is John Harington. The artist used lines to create shading, making his face look three-dimensional. Look up engraving to see how artists use lines like this to make pictures.
