This is a print from 1829 showing a man in a portrait style typical of its time. Made by Maxim Gauci, it shows Mr. De Begnis, who was just named director of music students at the Royal Academy. The artist added a note thanking the committee that made this appointment happen. It was printed to celebrate De Begnis’s success at the English Opera House just months before. Check out more prints by Gauci, Maxim (Massimo).
