Sir William Waller, Parliamentary General

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious face and a full beard. He’s wearing a high collar with a flower-shaped pin, and his hair is curly. The background is plain, and the whole image is inside a circular frame. The text below says his name is William Waller and he was a general. The artist used lines to create shadows and texture, like on his clothes and beard. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists use lines to make images.
