Portrait of an Artist Drawing

Etching, 91 x 78 mm., Nagler KL 37 Nagler believed this to be a self portrait and, since his Kunstlerlexicon was published in 1835, he might just possibly have known the artist in his later years. At any rate, the image here is of a young man, rather Bohemian looking, who seems to peer out of the corners of his eyes at what he is drawing. Magnification is of no use in telling us what it is, but the overall image could hardly be more charming.
