About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a circular frame. He wears a white shirt with a fancy metal chest plate over it. His curly hair is shoulder-length, and he looks serious. The border has Latin words carved into it, and a small coat of arms sits below his chin. The artist signed it in the corner with a date, 1660. Look up Baroque next to see how this style shaped portraits.
