Self-Portrait and Other Heads is a 1819 ink by Jacques Antoine Marie Lemoine, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man with glasses and curly hair, drawn in a simple, rough style. Around him are smaller faces—some adults, some kids—all drawn quickly. The paper looks old, with smudges and uneven lines. The big portrait is signed "Lemoine 1819," meaning it’s from that year. The artist used a method called lithography, where drawings are made on stone and printed. Next, check out lithography to see how this printing trick works.
Jacques-Antoine-Marie Lemoine, also Lemoyne (17 July 1751 – 7 February 1824), was a French artist, known primarily for portraiture.
