A Man, etching by Newton A. Wells, 1917

This etching shows a man in three-quarter profile facing right, with wavy dark hair swept back from a high forehead and an open white collar beneath a dark jacket. Fine hatched lines model the face and shoulders against a pale, untinted paper, giving a soft, realistic tonal effect.
