Henry Philippe Chauvelin is a 1752 ink by Charles-Nicolas Cochin II, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a powdered wig. He’s wearing a fancy coat with ruffles at the cuffs and a high collar. The background is plain, and the whole image is framed inside a circle with a decorative border. The name "Henry Philippe Chauvelin" is written below the portrait, along with a short title. This print was made using a technique that lets artists draw directly onto a metal plate. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Cochin II created detailed prints like this.
