About this work

This print shows a man in a dark coat against a plain background. His face is lit sharply, so wrinkles and stubble stand out. The artist used light and shadow to make the face feel real. The print might have been made after a painting. Prints like this let more people see an artist’s work. It’s a quiet but careful study of a face. Look up Oudry, Jean-Baptiste to see more of his prints.
