About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man with a thick beard and ruff collar. His hair is short, and he’s staring straight ahead. Above his head, a banner with Latin words wraps around him like a crown. The text around him calls him a preacher and mentions his role in a conflict. The small book in his hands has a tiny image of a building on the cover. Next, look up engraving to see how this kind of detailed printmaking works.
