Franciscus Guilielmus is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white engraving shows a serious-looking man with a thick beard and mustache. He’s wearing a high-collared shirt with buttons down the front, and his hair is neatly pulled back. The background is a simple oval frame with a textured pattern around it. The long Latin text below his portrait lists titles and honors, suggesting he held important church or political roles. The style looks detailed, with fine lines creating shadows and depth. Want to see how this kind of print was made? Look up engraving.
