This is a quick, sketchy watercolor portrait of a man with a thick mustache and a high collar. His face is turned slightly to the side, and the drawing is done in soft gray tones. The background is plain white paper, with some faint handwriting at the bottom. The signature and date (1844) suggest this was made over 180 years ago. The artist’s name, Vigne, is written in the corner. Look up Vigne, Godfrey Thomas (FRGS) to see more of his work.
