Dr. John Browne

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious expression. His right hand rests on his chest, and the background is plain. The oval shape of the face is framed by a decorative border with cross-hatching lines. The text below says this is a doctor named John Browne, and the date is 1677. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and details, which makes the face stand out. Look up engraving to see how artists like this one carved images into metal plates.
