This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious face. He’s wearing a dark collar and looks straight ahead. The picture sits inside a round frame with a fancy border. The name at the bottom reads *Johannes Seldenus*. The artist signed it *R. White fect* (short for "fecit," meaning "made this"). Want to know more? Look up engraving.
