This print shows Matthew Arnold’s face in profile. It comes from an 1871 issue of Vanity Fair. Vanity Fair used prints like this to poke fun at famous Brits. The artist behind the magazine cover was Vanity Fair itself. They mixed Impressionist brushwork with Realist detail. This blend made their prints feel lively and sharp at once.
