Did You Know?

The sitter for this portrait was a police commissioner in Rome and a friend of the artist.
A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink on cream paper depicts a man from the chest up. Fine hatching and delicate lines contour his face, thick wavy hair, and sideburns. He gazes forward with a subtle smirk, wearing a high-collared shirt, knotted cravat, and wide-collared coat. While his features are rendered with dense texture, the lower composition dissolves into simple, light outlines against an empty, bright background.
