Portrait of a Man 

This etching by Italian artist Giuseppe de Nittis (1846-1884) depicts a man in a suit, captured in a close-up portrait. The artist's use of lines and shading effectively renders the subject's facial features and clothing. This realistic portrayal is characteristic of de Nittis' style and his talent for capturing the nuances of human expression in a succinct and engaging manner. While the artwork's date is unknown, it is likely to have been created during the artist's career in Paris, where he was known for his depictions of contemporary Parisian life.
