Ingress style was formed early in life and changed comparatively little. His earliest drawings; such as the Portrait of a Man (1797) already show a suavity of outline and an extraordinary control of the parallel hatchings which model the forms. His portrait drawings; of which about 450 are extant; are today among his most admired works. While a disproportionate number of them date from his difficult early years in Italy; he continued to produce portrait drawings of his friends until the end of his life. Ingres drew his portrait drawings on wove paper; which provided a smooth surface very different from the ribbed surface of laid paper; which is; nevertheless; sometimes referred to today as "Ingres paper". Drawings made in preparation for paintings; are more varied in size and treatment than are the portrait drawings. He also drew a number of landscape views while in Rome but; with the exception of the small tondo Raphaels Casino; he painted no pure landscapes.
