Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Sir Claude Phillips NPG 2432

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Alphonse Legros

This portrait is silverpoint, a technique that has rarely been used since the Renaissance. Made by drawing with a metal stylus over a prepared ground - tinted pink in this case - metalpoints keenly test the skill of the artist since the delicate line cannot be erased.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
