About this work

This image shows a man's portrait, likely from the 19th century. He is dressed in dark attire with a ruffled collar and a fur-trimmed coat. The background is a solid color, which helps the subject stand out. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The level of detail in the engraving suggests a high level of skill on the part of the artist. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, is where this piece is held.
