H Beard Print Collection is a 1950 by Edme Quenedey des Ricets, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a man’s oval face in soft gray tones. The lines are fine, but the shading gives depth. It’s a quiet, close-up look. It’s an aquatint. That means ink was used to create smooth gradations, like watercolor but on paper. The artist chose this method to show soft light on the man’s face.
