About this work

This drawing shows Paul Henri Marron, the president of Paris’s Protestant church. He sits straight-backed, one hand resting on a book. The artist uses careful lines to shape his face and coat. The drawing comes from a sketch by Weber. Weber started with a painting by Vafflard, and Engelmann copied that drawing. You can see the thin, parallel lines—called cross-hatching—around the collar and face. Look up Engelmann, Gottfried, (1788–1839) to see more of his work.
