About this work

This print shows a serious-looking man in a dark coat and high collar. His face is drawn in soft, smudged lines, with a faint shadow under his chin. The background is plain white, and his name, "John Parry," is signed in a small script below. The print looks old, with brown spots and wear along the edges. The artist’s name, "Adams," is faintly marked in the corner, and the print was published in London in 1828. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this style shaped portraits of the time.
