About this work

This print shows Chopin in profile, made in the 1800s. A. Weger turned the portrait into a print sold by Augner & Co in London. That’s how Chopin’s face reached many living rooms. The paper carries the Harry Beard Collection stamp. That tiny mark tells us this copy once lived in a private album. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum.
