About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in fancy 16th-century clothes. He’s wearing a high-collared shirt with lace trim, a ruffled chest piece, and a dark coat. His curly hair and mustache are neatly styled, and he has a serious but calm expression. The picture is an engraving, which means it was etched into metal and printed. The artist used fine lines to show details like the fabric folds and his face. Look up engraving to see how artists create these precise, detailed prints.
