Description

Type of artwork: Original Etching – Bust of a Man with a Fur Cap (after Longhi / Titian)
Surface: Etching laid on paper
Artist and Signature: Annotated in ink lower left: J.B. Waring ?
Dated in ink lower right: 1837
Etched credit in plate: “E.W. Ottley del.” ?
Subject: This is a striking 19th-century etching of a bearded man in a fur cap, after the original composition by Giuseppe Longhi, which itself was based on a lost or unidentified work by Titian (Tiziano Vecellio). Unlike the original Italian engraving by Longhi, this version shows a distinctly British academic hand — with looser drypoint work, experimental hatching, and expressive re-interpretation of the original pose.
We cannot find another exact copy of the etching anywhere....We are speculating that it may have produced as part of an educational or museum-based print project, possibly directed by William Young Ottley (former Keeper of Prints, British Museum) The work is dated 1837 in ink and may have been privately printed or issued in a limited curatorial edition.
Approximate age of artwork: Dated 1837, early Victorian era
Is the artwork Framed or Mounted: Mounted on soft card, ready to frame
Size of artwork (plate impression only): Approx. 15.5 x 12.5 cm
Condition Report: This original 1837 etching is in good antique condition, with the expected age-toning and faint scattered foxing. The paper is clean overall with strong plate lines and no tears. A rare and unusual example of early British reinterpretations of Old Master works — not a mechanical reproduction, but a unique print with historical context and academic purpose. Please see close-up photographs for inspection.
