His attire is typical of the period, featuring a broad-brimmed hat and a cloak, which add a sense of dignity and gravitas to his appearance. The meticulous rendering of his facial features, hair, and clothing showcases Hollar's mastery of the etching technique, characterized by precise lines and subtle shading.
