Peter the Great

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a high collar. His face is turned slightly to the side, and he wears a ruffled shirt. The image is framed inside a round border, with a simple rectangular label below that reads "PIERRE I." The name and style suggest this is a formal portrait, likely meant to show power or importance. The artist used fine lines to capture details like the hair and fabric. Look up etching to see how artists like Saint-Aubin created this kind of precise print.
