Well again I dont know anything about the print, drawing or painting? It has 1800's written on the back conner but what onlt tells me it a portrait of a man from the 1800's. It is 8 1/2" X 6 1/2 could be book page size? Can anyone tell theres no page nunber ? The paper look very old.
It sure looks like an early 1800 portrait painting. Pre- photography, these were very popular-- you have probably seen the miniatures and oils on canvas.
Based on the paper oxidation it looks like it was once in a frame with an oval matting or cut out in the front.
