Head of a man in profile wearing a tricorne 1720 - 1800

This anonymous etching from the 18th century is a striking example of a profile portrait. The sitter, a man wearing a tricorne hat, is depicted in stark profile, highlighting the contours of his face and the details of his attire. The artist's meticulous use of lines and hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, capturing the subject's individual features with remarkable precision. This small but detailed work is a testament to the skill and artistry of anonymous printmakers during this era.
