Printmaker (Le Graveur)

François Bonvin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person seated at a table, with a side view revealing the upper half of their body as they lean forward slightly. The person is positioned in front of a bright drawing board or illuminated surface. Their facial features are not clearly visible, but they have shoulder-length hair and are wearing a dark jacket. Above them hangs a large lamp, casting a strong light on the board below. The background is mostly dark, with a few details of furniture and an easel faintly visible.
