Charles Meryon

1854

This etching by Félix Bracquemond depicts the 19th century French printmaker Charles Meryon, capturing his likeness with the precise linear technique characteristic of the medium. Bracquemond was himself a master etcher and admired Meryon's innovative approach to urban landscapes and architectural subjects. The portrait demonstrates the refined draftsmanship and tonal subtlety that both artists were known for in their printmaking practices.
