About this work

This painting shows a portrait of Joseph Biddle Wilkinson. It's a small print, measuring about 5.72 cm square. The artist used a lot of detail to create a realistic image. The portrait is interesting because it was made using a printmaking technique, which was a common way to reproduce images at that time. The artist's use of shading and lines creates a sense of depth in the portrait. Check out the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
