About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a big collar. He looks serious, staring slightly to the side. The background is plain, but his clothes have lots of folds and texture. The name "Ferdinand Gonzaga" is written around him in a circle. Below, there’s a short line of old-style writing. The whole image is inside a box with a patterned border. This is made using engraving.
