About this work

This engraving depicts a man with a long white beard and hair, wearing a dark robe over a white shirt. He is shown from the chest up, facing slightly to the left. The background is a light color, with some darker shading around the edges. The man's face is serious, with a slight furrowed brow. His eyes are cast downward, and his mouth is set in a firm line. The engraving is detailed, with fine lines and textures that give the image depth and dimension. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds a collection of engravings and other works from the Romantic period.
