James, Earl of Morton

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a bearded man in a wide-brimmed hat and dark robes. He holds a rolled-up scroll in one hand and rests the other on a draped cloth. The background has a wavy, cloud-like frame with some faded text. The name "MORTON" is carved into the scroll, and the print is signed by the artist. It’s made using a technique that layers ink on metal plates. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this create detailed prints.
