This black-and-white print shows a serious-looking man in fancy clothes. He’s wearing a long robe with chains and a hat, standing in a doorway. Behind him, tiny scenes of buildings and mountains appear on the walls. His face is detailed, with a beard and a stern look. The print uses fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the fabric look real. This is a type of drawing called *engraving*. Next, look up engraving to see how artists use metal plates and sharp tools to make prints like this.
