This etching, created by Constantino Cumano between 1770 and 1803, depicts a bald-headed man in profile, possibly the artist's father. The striking use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the man's furrowed brow and the wrinkles around his eyes. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the detailed and realistic style of portraiture common in the late 18th century.
