Neoclassical Pompeian-Style Figural Print

This item is a framed Neoclassical print, likely an engraving or lithograph, depicting a standing male figure in classical Roman-style attire, including an orange-hued toga over a darker garment. The center figure is set against a solid black background, reminiscent of the 'style of Pompeii' mural paintings found in the 18th and 19th centuries. Below the main figure is a decorative red frieze containing three classical profile heads. The entire composition is encased within an intricate border consisting of oval medallions featuring various faces, connected by delicate foliate scrolls and swags. This ornamental style suggests a late 18th to mid-19th century origin, perhaps inspired by the archaeological discoveries at Herculaneum and Pompeii that influenced artists like Piranesi or collectors like Sir William Hamilton. The artwork is presented in a modern white conservation mat and a minimalist black wooden frame with a slight satin finish. While the print appears to be in good condition with no visible foxing, water damage, or significant fading, a small marking—potentially a plate number or artist's signature—is visible in the lower left corner of the white margin. The print's precision indicates high-quality craftsmanship, likely part of a folio or historical publication documenting ancient art for a European Grand Tour audience.
