About this work

This is an engraving of a man's head and shoulders, turned slightly to the left. He has dark hair and a mustache, and is wearing a cloak with a decorative collar. The image is done in a cross-hatching style, with many fine lines that give it texture and depth. The background is a light color, which helps the subject stand out. The engraving is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington. If you want to learn more about this style of art, look up the Romanticism movement.
