About this work

This portrait shows a man with a ruffled collar and ornate clothing, likely from the 17th century. He has curly hair and is looking directly at the viewer. The engraving technique is evident in the cross-hatching that creates shading and texture on the subject's face and clothing. The level of detail in the engraving suggests a high level of skill and craftsmanship.
