About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s wearing a high white collar and a dark coat with a ruffled edge. His curly hair and beard frame his face, which is inside a circular border. The print looks like it was made using tiny dots and lines—this is called etching. The name below says it was done by someone named Ridley. Want to see more? Check out etching to learn how artists like Ridley made prints like this.
