Michel Odieuvre

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white engraving of a man with short dark hair and a long beard. The man has light eyes and is wearing a dark shirt with a white ruffled collar. The engraving is in an octagonal shape with a thick border. There are two rolled-up pieces of paper, one in each bottom corner. Under the man's image is a banner with text in black ink. The text on the banner reads "PIERRE BREUGHEL" on one line and "Surnomme LE VIEUX, Peintre de Sujets Grotesq' Ne au Village de Breaugh-el en 1527. Mort a Bruxelles" on the next lines. The background of the engraving is shaded, with darker tones towards the top.
