About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man with a serious expression. He wears a dark hat, a white ruff collar, and a high-necked robe. His face is detailed with deep lines, showing age and focus. The name "Thomas Holland" is written below the image, along with some Latin text. This suggests he was likely a person of importance, possibly a scholar or leader. This is an example of engraving, a technique where artists etch designs into metal plates.
