Le Marquis Scipion Maffei is a 1750 crayon 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 high collar. His face is turned slightly to the side, showing a thoughtful expression. Above his head, there’s a decorative bow tied with ribbons. The name at the bottom reads *Le Marquis Scipion Maffei*, and the print was made in 1750. The artist used a technique that creates fine lines and shading. Next, look up etching to see how this kind of print was made.
