This is a black-and-white engraving of a bearded man in a robe, holding an open book and a folded paper. His face is serious, with deep lines around his eyes and mouth. The background is a dark oval with Latin words along the top and sides. The man’s hands rest carefully on the book, suggesting he’s a scholar or teacher. The words around him are in Latin, which was common for serious portraits back then. If you like this style, look up engraving.
