From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Joseph Pellerin is a 1777 ink by Augustin de Saint-Aubin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man in profile. His face is framed by a round border, and his curly wig is detailed carefully. The background is plain, but the top edge has a decorative scroll with a flower or leaf design. The name "Joseph Pellerin" is written below the portrait, and the date 1777 appears at the top. The artist’s signature and the words "Animo Maturus et Avo" are also visible. Look up etching to see how this kind of print was made.
Augustin de Saint-Aubin sometimes styled Auguste de Saint-Aubin (3 January 1736 – 9 November 1807), belongs to an important dynasty of French designers and engravers.
