1830
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Carnevale is a 1830 ink by Achille Devéria, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a long, fur-lined coat and a wide-brimmed hat with a feather. His beard is thick, and he stands with one hand tucked inside his coat. Behind him, a chair and a few loose sketch lines hint at a room, but the focus is on him. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture his face and clothes, giving it a rough, almost unfinished look. The word "CARNEVALE" at the bottom suggests this might be a character from a festival or celebration. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
Achille Jacques-Jean-Marie Devéria (6 February 1800 – 23 December 1857) was a French painter and lithographer known for his portraits of famous writers and artists.
