Gabriel Scorodoomoff

Gabriel Scorodoomoff is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This Russian printmaker left behind one known work in 1781: a detailed collection of beard styles titled H Beard Print Collection, etched on paper. The prints catalog facial hair trends of the late 18th century with precise lines and careful shading. Each plate isolates a different beard shape, some bushy, some trimmed, against plain backgrounds.

The series offers a rare snapshot of grooming habits from that era. Curious about 18th-century fashion? Look for the same beard styles in period portraits.
