This painting shows a profile portrait of Blake. The portrait is very small, measuring only about 5.56 cm square. It's interesting because it was made using a technique that involves scraping and cutting into a metal plate to create the image. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
