Historia

See The Old Spinner and The mourning.

There is evidence of this print in various collections: Library of the Lázaro Galdiano Foundation, acquired by D. José Lázaro from the heirs of Rosario Weiss before 1918; Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris, from the Lefort collection and formerly held by Eugène Delacroix; Davison Art Center, Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut (USA), acquired with a sketchbook by the French draughtsman Nicolas T. Charlet, unveiled in 1957.

Análisis artístico

His collaboration with the printmaker Cipriano Gaulon must have been so close that it reached the point of friendship, which explains the depth and feeling of this portrait, which shows the lithographer bust-length, with his face slightly turned, broad chin and lively gaze turned to the viewer's left. It is a typical bourgeois portrait from the first third of the 19th century, in which the sitter has his hair combed over his forehead and wears a knotted cravat, a light-coloured fancy waistcoat and a frock coat with large lapels. Uniform grey background achieved by means of lithographic aquatint.
