Print
A vertically oriented drypoint print with hatched lines in black ink on light-tan paper depicts a profile of Charles Dickens facing left. The man with light skin, wavy hair, and a bushy beard looks downward with a furrowed brow. He wears a high-collared coat. Dense hatching creates shadows along his face and neck. The central portrait sits within a rectangular indentation, surrounded by a wide, empty border.
