Self-portrait, print, printmaker: Charles Verlat, 1868, paper, etching, drypoint, roulette, intaglio printmaking technique, height 192 mm, width 248 mm, A sepia-toned, finely detailed portrait drawing of a man shown from the shoulders up, featuring a full beard and mustache, medium-length hair parted in the middle and combed back, and prominent eyes looking slightly forward. The man's face displays careful crosshatching and shading, with visible lines rendering his forehead, cheeks, and the texture of his facial hair. He wears a collared shirt and a jacket with a textured pattern, the fabric indicated by dense stippling and hatch marks. The background consists of diagonal and crosshatched strokes creating a darker area behind the head that fades into lighter, sparsely shaded space toward the edges. The overall image has a textured, etched appearance with variations in line density and tone.
