This portrait shows a man's face in detail. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used a lot of lines to create texture and shading, which makes the portrait interesting. The portrait is small, only about 5 cm square. It was made using a special process that involves scraping away at a metal plate to create the image. You can learn more about this technique by looking into engraving.
