Portrait of the Artist's Father is a 1776 ink by Michel-François Dandré-Bardon, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a framed etching of a man with curly hair, wearing a loose-fitting shirt. The man is shown from the chest up, facing forward with his head turned slightly to the right. He has a neutral expression on his face. The etching is done in a detailed and realistic style, with intricate lines and shading that give the image depth and texture. The background of the etching is a plain, light-colored surface that helps to focus attention on the subject. This portrait is reminiscent of the work of artists associated with the Romanticism movement.
Michel François André-Bardon (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1700 – 13 April 1785) was a French history painter and etcher.
