Portret van een onbekende man genaamd Raymaekers 1883

Auguste Danse's "Portret van een onbekende man genaamd Raymaekers" is a striking 1883 portrait etching. The artwork, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts an unknown man, Raymaekers, in a close-up view, showcasing a detailed rendering of his features, particularly his beard and expression. This intimate portrait, with its subtle shading and refined lines, is a testament to Danse's skill as a portraitist and a fine example of the etching technique's potential for capturing likeness and character.
