This print shows a head and torso portrait of a person. The subject is J.N. Hummel, and the portrait is quite detailed. It's interesting that the artist, William Sharp, created this print at a young age, in 1831, which is just a couple of years after he was born, but I don't know much about his life or training. You can learn more about printmaking techniques like chiaroscuro.
