Jean-Baptiste Greuze is a 1750 ink by Jean-Jacques Flipart, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man facing to the right. His hair is curly and pulled back, and he wears a high-collared shirt. The image is framed by a round border, with his name and title—*"Peintre du Roy"*—printed below in fancy script. The print looks like it was made by pressing ink into carved metal, a technique that lets you see fine lines and shading. This was a way to make many copies of the same image.
