This painting shows a portrait of a man. He is dressed in simple clothes and looks straight ahead. The artist used a small scale, just 5.56 cm, to create a detailed portrait. The portrait is interesting because it was made using a precise technique. The artist had to be very careful to get all the details right. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of engraving.
