About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a big beard and curly hair. He’s wearing a high collar and looks straight at you with a serious expression. The background is just a plain, textured wall. The text below says it’s a "true portraiture" of someone named William Slater. The artist is unknown, but the style looks old-fashioned. If you like this kind of detailed drawing, try looking up engraving.
