Alois Senefelder is a 1871 by Joseph F. Knapp, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a high-collared jacket. He’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression, his hands folded in front of him. The oval image sits inside a decorative frame filled with swirling patterns and tiny sketches of tools and plants. The text below the portrait calls him "Alois Senefelder" and says he invented lithography. The artist’s signature and the date 1871 are tucked in the corner. If you like this style, look up Joseph F. Knapp (American) next.
