About this work

This etching shows a man with a long white beard and deep-set eyes, turned slightly away. His hair is short and graying, and he wears a high-collared coat. The lines are loose but precise, with shadows falling across his face. The name "Walter Brock Esq" is signed at the bottom, and the artist’s mark reads "W. Strang 1902." The paper has a rough texture, and the shading is built up in layers. Check out William Strang’s other portraits to see how he used light and shadow.
