Man with Little Girl (Medallion) n.d.

Christina Chalon's "Man with Little Girl (Medallion)" is an etching, a printmaking technique using an acid-resistant coating on a metal plate, that showcases a man in a hat holding a young child, creating a intimate scene. The artwork is a medallion, meaning it is a circular composition framed within a square sheet, and is a testament to the artist's fine detail and mastery of line. This etching, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, captures the tender bond between a father and child, reflecting the popular subject matter of family life in the 18th century.
