Louis Galloche is a 1776 ink by Johann Gotthard Müller, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a powdered wig. He’s wearing a dark coat over a white shirt, sitting with his hands resting on a ledge. Next to him is a small box of tools—probably for drawing or painting. The background is plain, and the whole scene is framed in an oval shape. The text at the bottom names him Louis Galloche, calling him a painter and teacher. The tools suggest he worked with art, maybe as a draftsman or engraver. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
