EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, titled "Man in Profile, 1760" showcases the remarkable talent of artist Thomas Frye. With meticulous attention to detail, Frye masterfully captures the essence of a male subject in this life-size portrait. The man's profile is elegantly framed against a simple background, allowing his features to take center stage. In this striking image, we see the man deep in thought as he rests his hand on his chin. His expression exudes wisdom and introspection, inviting us to ponder what might be going through his mind. Every line and contour has been carefully etched into the print, revealing Frye's exceptional skill in capturing human anatomy with astonishing precision. The use of mezzotint technique adds an ethereal quality to the artwork. This method involves roughening the entire surface of a metal plate before selectively burnishing it smooth to create varying tones and textures. As a result, shadows dance across our subject's face and lend depth and dimensionality to his features. "Man in Profile" is part of a series by Thomas Frye featuring life-size heads that showcase different individuals from various walks of life during the 18th century. This particular piece offers us an intimate glimpse into one man's world at that time. Now preserved within a private collection but made available for public appreciation through Fine Art Finder website (www. bridgemanart. com), this timeless masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite craftsmanship and ability to transport us back centuries
