About this work

This print shows Lodovico Carracci’s face in profile, his dark hair curling at the ears. His eyes look past us, calm but sharp. The lines are crisp and deep, especially around his mouth. The print comes from a self-portrait he made late in life. Back then artists often drew themselves to prove their skill. This one was copied carefully by an engraver in 1778. If you like his style, check out prints by Rembrandt at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
