Charles, Count of Bucquoy is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a man with curly hair, a mustache, and a ruffled collar. His face looks serious, and he’s wearing a dark coat with a patterned shoulder piece. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his face and clothes. The text at the top says "Charles Longevall Count of Bucquoy," and the bottom describes his military role. The lines in the image are made by tiny scratches, creating shadows and texture. Want to see how this style works? Check out engraving.
