Wilson Lowry is a 1825 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with short, wavy hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a high-collared shirt with a ruffled neckline, and the background is plain. The lines in his face and hair are drawn carefully, giving it a textured look. The name "Wilson Lowry" is printed below the image, along with titles like F.R.S. and M.G.S., which likely stand for scientific or academic honors. This was made as an engraving, not a painting, so the artist used lines to build up the details. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create images with just ink and lines.
