This portrait shows a man with curly white hair and a large fur collar. His face is serious, and he wears a dark coat over a light shirt. The background is plain black, with his name written in a circle around him. The artist used shading to make his face look three-dimensional. The words below are in fancy script, but they’re hard to read up close. If you like this style, look up Baroque.
