About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a young man in fancy clothes. His collar is high, his sleeves are puffy, and he wears a chain around his neck. The background is plain, but the edges of the oval frame have writing in French. The text around him calls him "Duke of Mantua" and says he’s 18. His pose looks confident, with one hand resting on his chest. This is made using engraving.
