Getting started with the collection:
Portrait of Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland
attributed to Jean-Etienne Liotard, 1753 - 1757
Jean-Etienne Liotard is famous for his pastel portraits, but he also made prints in which he often opted for an unusual technique. Here he worked in a highly systematic manner. He almost exclusively used horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines, which he applied with the aid of a ruler. It is a proof on which Liotard indicated with coloured chalk where he wanted to adapt the print.
