About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a man in fancy old clothes. He’s wearing a big, puffy coat with stripes, a tall hat, and a chain around his neck. His right hand holds a small object, and his left rests on his hip. Behind him, there’s a landscape with a tree, hills, and a tiny boat on water. The text at the bottom names him Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy. The artist used fine lines to show details like his ruffled collar and the texture of his clothes.
