Antonio Canova is a 1826 ink by Henri Grevedon, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a man's portrait, likely from the 19th century. He has dark curly hair and is dressed in a dark coat with a high collar and a light-colored cravat. The background is a plain light color. The man's face is the main focus of the image, and his expression is serious. His eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer, giving the impression that he is engaged in a conversation. The image is a lithograph, a type of print made from stone, which was a popular medium during the Romanticism movement. To learn more about this technique, explore the world of lithography.
