Eric Lewis as the Duke of Fayensberg is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a man dressed as the Duke of Fayensberg. He's wearing fancy clothes and looks serious. The detail that catches my eye is the careful coloring of the print, which suggests it was made with care. The print is from the 19th century, and it's interesting to think about who might have seen it back then. It was published as part of the Harry Beard Collection, which is a interesting fact about its history. You can learn more about prints like this one by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
