Vincenz Georg Kininger
Vincenz Georg Kininger belongs to the late eighteenth-century European print tradition, working above all in mezzotint, a technique whose soft tonal gradations suit portraiture and the close study of individual faces. His subjects centre on the human figure, as the surviving example here makes plain. The archive holds a single sheet by this artist, a mezzotint dated 1787 and titled Portrait of an old man with a beard, with impressions up to that same year.
