About this work

This portrait shows a man in a dark coat with a high collar and a large white cravat. He's set against a dark background with a lot of texture. The portrait is very small, measuring only about 5.5 cm square. This tiny size makes the details even more impressive. The artist used a lot of skill to create this portrait, and to learn more about this style, look up the technique: engraving.
