Catalogo da collecção de quadros
A Portuguese catalogue of a painting collection, compiled by the Museu Nacional de Bellas Artes and the Conde de Carvalhido and printed in Lisbon in 1898 for collectors and art-minded readers. The single plate is a halftone portrait of a moustached man in a dark jacket with a white cravat, shot against a plain, softly shaded ground; a designer could take its formal studio portrait conventions, the tonal gradient and the restrained, centred composition.
