Deodat Delmont

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a mustache and curly hair. He’s dressed in a ruffled collar and looks like he’s adjusting something in his hand. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his face and hands. The name "Deodat Delmont" is written at the bottom, but the artist’s name is also there—Vorsterman. This isn’t a painting; it’s an *engraving*, made by carving lines into a metal plate. Check out how *engraving* works to see how artists create these detailed images.
