Portret van prentmaker James Gillray 1819

This 1819 engraving, "Portret van prentmaker James Gillray," by Charles Turner, is a portrait of the famous English caricaturist James Gillray. The artwork depicts Gillray in a three-quarter view, his face turned towards the viewer. The artist has chosen to place Gillray within an oval frame, which was a popular style during this era. Turner's print is a testament to the skill of both the artist and the subject. Turner's use of stipple engraving techniques and Gillray's sharp wit made him a significant contributor to the art of caricature in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
