Portrait of a Young Man in Profile 1808

This lithograph by Paul Anton Skerl, created in 1808, depicts a young man in profile. The artwork, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Skerl's skill in capturing detail through the use of subtle shading. The subject's expression, partially obscured by the high collar of his garment, adds an air of mystery to the piece. This work is a testament to Skerl's mastery of the lithographic process, which was a relatively new technique at the time.
