This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a big, ruffled collar. His mustache is neatly trimmed, and his expression is serious. The lines on his face are sharp, drawn with careful detail. The text below the image is in French and praises the man’s bravery. The date 1587 is written in the corner, showing this was made long ago. Next, look up engraving to see how artists use lines to create depth.
