Philip IV (Philippe IV) is a 1862 ink by Edouard Manet, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a man in fancy old clothes, holding a long gun and standing next to a dog. The background looks like a forest with trees and bushes drawn in quick, scratchy lines. His face is serious, and the whole scene is in shades of black and white. The artist used a technique called etching, where they scratch into a metal plate to create the image. This was made in 1862 by Edouard Manet. If you like this style, check out more about etching.
