Original soft-ground etching. Plate size, approx. 12 3/4″ x 9″ (32.5 cm x 23 cm) plus margins. Caricature of a gentleman, originally sketched by Ghezzi. Light foxing and soiling to margins, and light foxing to image background; but drawing is clean. Pond was an 18th c. engraver, especially noted for his portraits and engravings after Italian old masters, including a series of caricatures of which this is one.
