François Gonord

François Gonord belongs to the tradition of eighteenth-century reproductive printmaking, working in crayon manner engraving, a technique devised to imitate the soft, grainy texture of chalk drawings. His subjects centre on intimate character studies, as seen in the head of a man in a turban. This archive holds a single sheet by the artist, printed in brown ink, an impression of that untitled portrait study.
