About this work

This black-and-white engraving shows a serious man in old-fashioned clothes. He wears a tall, fancy hat and a ruffled collar, with his hands tucked into his sleeves. The dark background makes his face stand out clearly. The text below names him Fulke Greville, a poet and lord. His outfit looks like it’s from hundreds of years ago, with detailed lines showing fabric folds. Want to see how artists used *cross-hatching* to create depth? Try it yourself with pencil and paper.
