The diplomat 

"The Diplomat" is a black and white etching by Mariano Fortuny Marsal. The artwork is a portrait of an older man, likely a diplomat, sitting in a chair with a thoughtful expression. The man is dressed in a dark suit and sits against a darker background, creating a stark contrast. The artist uses loose, gestural lines to depict the sitter's form and clothing, suggesting a sense of immediacy. The etching is signed "Fortuny" in the lower right corner. This artwork showcases the artist’s masterful skill in capturing the likeness of a subject through expressive strokes, often using light and shadow to create a sense of depth.
