Etienne Carjat

Etienne Carjat belongs to the generation of nineteenth-century French portraitists whose drawn likenesses captured the leading cultural figures of their day. Working in graphite, Carjat approached portraiture through close, restrained observation of the sitter's features and expression. The archive holds a single sheet by the artist, a graphite portrait of Honoré Daumier, dated within a span running from 1861 to 1861, or impressions up to that year where later printings exist.
