Lessing J. Rosenwald 1930

This etching, created in 1930 by Scottish artist James McBey, depicts Lessing J. Rosenwald, a prominent art collector and philanthropist. The work is a portrait, and the sitter's face is rendered in a simplified, yet expressive style, capturing Rosenwald's character and intellect. McBey’s use of fine lines and shading, a hallmark of etching, lends itself to a sense of depth and realism. The artwork is a testament to McBey's skill as a portraitist and captures the essence of his subject.
