H Beard Print Collection is a 1787 by John Downman, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a man in a military coat with a serious expression. He has short hair and a high collar. The background is plain, so all eyes stay on his face. The print is made with dots called stippling, not lines. This style makes the shadows look soft and the face detailed. It was common for portraits then, but this one feels extra lifelike.

A print from 1787 by John Downman depicts Colonel Arabin, possibly identified as William John Arabin.
