DescriptionThe image is an etching that depicts a profile portrait of a male figure. The figure's face is angled towards the lower right corner. His eyes are closed and his lids are dark, and he has a long straight nose. The figure has dark hair and a beard with a cleft. He wears a wreath of intertwined vines containing thorns on his head. There is dark cross-hatching immediately around the figure's head which fades into a light background.On View
