Philippe Cayeux is a 1768 ink by Louis-Simon Lempereur, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly white hair and a serious expression. His head is framed inside a circular border, and above it sits a small decorative bow. The background is simple, with a textured pattern around the edges. The name "P. Cayeux" is printed below the portrait, suggesting it’s a formal image. The print looks old, with fine lines showing the artist’s careful handwork. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
