Franciscus Plante

About this work

This black-and-white portrait shows a man in a dark coat and white collar, looking straight ahead with a serious expression. His curly hair and mustache are detailed, and he wears a brooch at his neck. The background is plain, putting all focus on his face and clothes. The name "Franciscus Plante" is written at the top, but the Latin text below is hard to read. This is an old print, not a painting, made by cutting lines into a metal plate. Check out how this was made using engraving.
