Artist

The image shows an engraving of a portrait featuring a person's upper body. The figure faces the viewer's left in a straight, slight three-quarter position. They have refined eyes, a slightly smiling mouth, and elegant hair styled away from the face. The person wears dark attire with a high, ruffled collar. The oval frame around the portrait likely identifies the person, and below it, there is an inscription resembling a poem on a textured background.
