Antique Portrait

10 years ago

I have two antique portraits, I believe they are chalk or charcoal. There is so much contradictory information out there, that I'm confused. What exactly is this type of portrait ? Please help so I can answer questions without sounding like a dummy. www.chesleysofflorida.com

Have you taken it out of the frame? Almost looks like an etching. Can't tell from picture. Any thing else you can tell us about it. I was looking at the man in frame one.
