ST - Phlsphr

A detailed engraving depicts a person, presumably of indeterminate ethnicity, wearing a highly ornate mask resembling a stylized sunburst. The figure appears to be middle-aged, with a melancholic expression visible through the mask's eye holes. They wear a layered, dark garment with a high collar and possibly a cloak. The right hand rests against the cheek, suggesting contemplation or sadness, while the left hand is near the chest in a relaxed position. The figure is positioned in the center, and the face is oriented directly towards the viewer. The background is composed of a dark, textured area and a patterned design on the top left. The image is monochrome, with a play of light and shadow emphasizing the intricate details of the mask and clothing. The style is reminiscent of classical engravings, evoking a sense of mystery and solemnity.
