About this Artwork
Charles Eisenmann’s Portrait of a Tattooed Man seizes the late-nineteenth century’s obsession with spectacle, photography, and skin as archive. The sitter, bare from the waist up, folds his arms across a torso covered in inked iconography: shields, chain motifs, mythological beasts, heraldic crests, intertwined figures that coil into visual chorus.
Each mark cuts into sepia permanence, echoing circus culture, Bowery studios, and cabinet card allure. The tonal softness conceals nothing; linework clings to shoulders, arms, chest, inscribing permanence in an era entranced by impermanence.
This art print enshrines Eisenmann’s role in chronicling tattooed performers, strongmen, curiosities, exposing how Victorian audiences consumed the exotic, the erotic, and the forbidden while cloaking their desire in the language of ethnography and entertainment.
