EDITORS COMMENTS
Andre Dutertre's Portrait of the Engraver Baquoy, created around 1820, captures the introspective gaze of Pierre Charles Baquoy in this striking black and white lithograph on ivory wove paper. Baquoy, a middle-aged engraver from France, is depicted wearing a simple, high-collared shirt and a vest, the fashion of the time for men in his profession. His expression conveys a deep concentration and quiet intensity, perhaps reflecting the meticulous attention to detail required in his work. The portrait is a testament to Dutertre's skill as an artist, with the contrasting shades of white and black creating a sense of depth and texture. The monochromatic palette adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to the 19th century. Baquoy's portrait is a valuable addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is housed in the Prints and Drawings department. The image invites us to contemplate the heritage of the arts, the dedication and focus required in artistic pursuits, and the enduring legacy of the human spirit. The portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who spent his days creating intricate and detailed works of art through the medium of engraving. Baquoy's occupation, once a common one, has largely been replaced by modern technology, making this portrait all the more precious as a reminder of the past. Whether admired in person at the Art Institute of Chicago or as a print, Baquoy's portrait continues to captivate and inspire, inviting us to reflect on the rich history of art and the people behind the masterpieces.
