Old Man Looking Downwards, Old Man Seen from the Front, Profile of an Old Man with a Beard, Old Man in a Striped Robe 1775

"Old Man Looking Downwards" is a set of four etchings created by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo in 1775. These prints, now at the Art Institute of Chicago, depict the same elderly man from different angles. The series demonstrates Tiepolo's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of human expression and his ability to convey age and wisdom through masterful use of light and shadow. These etchings highlight Tiepolo's mastery of the etching technique, a popular medium in the 18th century.
