About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious face. He’s wearing a high-collared shirt and has his hands clasped together. The background is simple, with a dark oval frame and a patterned border. The text below the portrait is in Latin and mentions the man’s age (71). His clothes look formal, like someone important.
