"Luigi Calamatta" is a portrait drawing by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, created in 1842. The work depicts Luigi Calamatta, an Italian engraver who was known for his skill in the art of lithography and who had a significant influence on the development of printmaking in the 19th century. Ingres, renowned for his precise draftsmanship and his portraits that capture the essence of the sitter's character, rendered Calamatta with meticulous detail and a clear respect for his subject's profession.

The portrait is executed in graphite on paper, a medium that allowed Ingres to demonstrate his virtuosity in capturing textures and subtle gradations of tone. Ingres's portrayal of Calamatta is notable for its realism and the lifelike quality he imparts to the sitter's features. The artist's focus on the sitter's hands, which are finely drawn and positioned to suggest the act of engraving, pays homage to Calamatta's craft and serves as a testament to the mutual respect between the artist and the engraver.

This drawing is not only a testament to Ingres's skill as a portraitist but also an important historical record of the artistic community in the 19th century, highlighting the connections and esteem shared among artists of different disciplines. The "Luigi Calamatta" portrait remains an exemplary piece within Ingres's body of work, reflecting the aesthetic values of Neoclassicism and the emphasis on linearity and clarity that characterized his oeuvre. The artwork is held in high regard by art historians and is often cited in discussions of Ingres's portraiture and his contribution to the art of drawing.
