About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a thick beard and curly hair. He’s wearing a high-collar ruff and a dark, patterned doublet. The background is plain, but the edges of his portrait are framed by a decorative oval border. The name below reads *Petrus Henriquez, Graef van Fuentes*, hinting at a noble title. The style looks old-fashioned, with careful shading to show texture in his clothes and face. Want to know more? Try looking up *engraving*.
