About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a ruffled collar. His face is centered in a rounded frame, and the background is plain. Around the edge, the words *"DE SOISSONS"* and *"LOYS DE BOURBON"* are written in fancy letters. The text below the portrait is in French, praising the man’s strength and skill. The artist used lines to create shadows and details, making the face stand out. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made prints.
