About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man wearing a tall, pointy hat and a dark robe. His face is serious, with a short beard and deep lines around his eyes. Above his head, there’s a small circle with the letters "IHS" inside a sunburst shape. The text below his name calls him a priest involved in a mission to England. The artist’s signature is faintly marked in the top right corner. Want to learn more about how this image was made? Check out engraving.
