Artist, Swedish, 1860 - 1920

The image displays an etched portrait of an older man from the waist up. He is standing with his body slightly turned to the side, but his face is oriented towards the viewer. The man has a thick beard and mustache, with neatly combed back hair. He is wearing a formal suit with a bow tie, detailed with fine lines. In his left hand, he holds a small glass. The background shows several other men dressed similarly in formal attire, slightly out of focus. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly within a formal venue or a private room with paneled walls.
