Portrait of a Man (Le Doreur)

Léopold Flameng · published 1885 · etching ·  Accession ID  1980.45.2343.u

Printed with black lines and deep, velvety shading on tan-colored paper, a man, Jesus, stands at the center of a crowd of more than two dozen people, mostly adults and a few children, in this horizontal etching and drypoint. Jesus is left of center. He stands facing us, but he turns his head to look to our left. Rays of light emanate from behind his head against the towering cave opening that swallows the right two-thirds of the scene. Jesus’s curly hair falls long over his shoulders, and he holds both hands out. His eyes are lightly incised, giving them an almost blurred look. A crowd of people lie or kneel deep in shadow to our right. Some use crutches or walking sticks, and some are on carts. All the people appear to have pale skin except for one with darker-toned skin to the right in this gathering. That person has a rounded nose, full lips, and wears an earring that gleams brightly in the deep shadows. A camel stands at the far side of this group under an arched opening. The people standing and one person sitting close to Jesus to the left are fully shaded, and those farther left are lightly outlined and sparsely shaded so they appear to be much lighter on the white paper. Close to Jesus are a woman holding a baby, a seated, clean-shaven young man, and several bearded men. Most of those who are along the left edge of the sheet wear turbans or floppy caps.
