This object has the following keywords:

• engravings - Prints on paper incorporating impressions of a reverse design created on a printing plate, usually copper, into which the design has been incised (engraved) using burins or gravers.

For prints made from designs engraved on a flat wooden block, use "wood cuts"; for prints made from a plate that is etched rather than engraved, use "etchings."

• men - Refers to male human beings from young adulthood through old age.
• portraits - Representations of real individuals that are intended to capture a known or supposed likeness, usually including the face of the person. For representations intended to be anonymous, or of fictional or mythological characters, see "figures (representations)."
• sculptors - Artists who specialize in creating images and forms that are carried out primarily in three dimensions, generally of large or medium size, and in the media of stone, wood, or metal. It may also refer to artists who create relief or intaglio works. For artists who create small works, or for craftsmen who carve three dimensional forms that are not considered art, use "carvers."
