Thomas Howard, 3rd Earl of Effingham and 9th Baron Howard 1764 - 1802

This 18th-century drawing, created by renowned artist Francesco Bartolozzi, depicts Thomas Howard, the 3rd Earl of Effingham and 9th Baron Howard. The detailed, delicate lines of the black chalk drawing capture the subtle features of the sitter's face, creating a striking likeness of the English nobleman. The oval frame further emphasizes the portrait's focus on the individual, making it a powerful example of 18th-century portraiture. This small-scale work, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Bartolozzi's mastery of portraiture and his ability to convey the personality of his subject through meticulous detail.
