Giuseppi Filippo Liberati Marchi
1772
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
James Harrington, Esq. is a 1772 ink by Giuseppi Filippo Liberati Marchi, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious face. He’s wearing a fancy lace collar that stands out against his dark clothing. The background is plain and dark, so all the focus is on him. The print looks old, with tiny lines making up the details. It’s labeled as a mezzotint, which is a way of etching fine textures into metal plates. Look up mezzotint to see how artists create those smooth gradations of light and shadow.
Giuseppi Filippo Liberati Marchi (1770–1770) was an artist.
