From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Gredin de Sort!... is a 1826 ink by Horace Vernet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The print shows a rough-looking man with a big hat and wild beard. He leans on a stick, staring straight at you. His coat is messy, his boots worn. The artist made this in 1817. It’s a lithograph—a way to print from a smooth stone. You can still see the grainy marks where the stone met the paper. Look up lithography next.
Émile Jean-Horace Vernet (French pronunciation: ; 30 June 1789 – 17 January 1863), better known as Horace Vernet, was a French painter of battles, portraits, and Orientalist subjects.
