About this work

This black-and-white print shows a serious man in a high-collared shirt and ruffled cuffs. He’s holding an open book with a stack beside him, sitting in a chair with a crucifix on the wall behind. His face is detailed, with a short beard and a firm gaze. The engraving’s lines create deep shadows, making the textures of his clothes and the book’s pages stand out. The text at the bottom is in Latin, likely describing the man’s title or achievements. Want to know more about how this image was made? Look up engraving.
