Drypoint Number Five: Portrait 1909

"Drypoint Number Five: Portrait" is a 1909 drypoint print by the Scottish artist Donald Shaw MacLaughlan, which is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago. The print is a portrait of an unidentified man, whose face is rendered in detail using a sharp, expressive line. MacLaughlan was a prolific artist who produced numerous drypoint prints, and this work is a fine example of his masterful technique and ability to capture the subtle nuances of the human form.
