Charles-Georges Coqueley de Chaussepierre is a 1780 ink by Jean Francois Rousseau, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man with curly white hair and a high white wig. He wears a dark coat with a high collar and holds a folded paper or letter in his right hand. The background is plain, and the image is framed by a circular border with text around the top. The artist used fine lines to show the texture of the wig and coat, giving it a detailed look. This kind of print was made by pressing ink into carved metal plates. Check out the technique: etching to see how this image was created.
