Man with stern expression in profile to left
An etched profile of a bald, older man facing left, his deeply lined face set in a stern frown under a heavy brow. He wears a loose collared garment tied with a ribbon at the neck, and fine parallel hatching shades the background and clothing.
Look closer: The printed inscription naming Leonardo da Vinci and Wenceslaus Hollar, with the date 1645, runs along the top edge.
