About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man in a high-collared coat. His hands rest on a book or a piece of paper, and he wears a chain necklace. Below him, two small scenes show people in action—one with soldiers, the other with a woman and a child. The text at the bottom reads *"Fly from Evil, Do Good."* The artist’s name, *Will. pass. fecit*, is also there. This is an engraving, a technique where artists etch lines into metal to print images.
