About this work

This black-and-white portrait shows a serious-looking man in a dark robe. His curly hair and mustache frame a focused face. One hand rests on his chest, the other on his stomach. The background is plain, keeping all attention on him. The text below his image says he was a theology professor. The lines on his face and clothes suggest someone respected but not flashy. Next, check out how this was made using engraving.
