18
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
H Beard Print Collection is a 18 by Joshua Reynolds, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a portrait of a man in the print. He's dressed in 18th-century clothing. The interesting thing about this print is that it's a copy of a mezzotint, which is a type of print made from a metal plate. This technique was popular back then, and it's still used today to create detailed images. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Reynolds, Joshua, Sir.
A print depicts Joseph (Giuseppe) Baretti, reproduced from a mezzotint originally issued by John Boydell in 1780.
