Portret van Henri de Régnier 1898

"Portret van Henri de Régnier" is a 1898 etching by Belgian artist Theo van Rysselberghe. The artwork is a portrait of French poet and novelist Henri de Régnier, depicted in a close-up, with his face and upper body visible. De Régnier is wearing a monocle, a detail that adds a touch of refinement and intellectualism to the portrait.
