Eduard Morres

Eduard Morres made prints that often featured people from his era. One of them is a portrait print titled *Samuel von Brukenthal*. His work belongs to the 18th-century tradition of printmaking, when artists used engraving tools to carve images onto metal plates. These prints were then inked and pressed onto paper, creating sharp, lasting portraits. Look at the fine lines in *Samuel von Brukenthal*—they show how Morres captured details like ruffled collars and thoughtful expressions. Next, tap to see more prints from this period.
