About this work

This print shows the head and torso of a man. He's looking straight at us with a serious face. The man in the portrait is William Hogarth, an artist from the past, and this print was made after his death. The print is interesting because it was made from an earlier work. The details of the man's face and clothes are still clear, even though it's a copy. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
