This etching by Marcellin Desboutin, "Portrait of Jules Jacquemart," is a striking example of the artist's signature style. Created in 1876, the work captures the likeness of Jules Jacquemart, a prominent art collector and dealer of the time. Desboutin's use of bold lines and deep shadows creates a sense of depth and realism in the portrait, while the subtle hatching techniques add texture and nuance to the subject's clothing and beard. This print, originally published in the “Gazette des Beaux-Arts”, is a testament to Desboutin's mastery of printmaking and his ability to portray his subjects with both accuracy and expressiveness.
