Portret van Jacqueline de Caestre 1889 - 1890

This etching, *Portret van Jacqueline de Caestre* (1889-1890), is by Belgian artist Charles Théodore Bernier. Bernier (1871-1950) is known for his refined portraits and historical scenes, and this work showcases his ability to capture the likeness of the sitter. The intricate details of Jacqueline de Caestre's clothing, the delicate lace collar, and the rich texture of the fabric, all contribute to the realism and depth of the portrait. The soft, tonal values of the etching add to the sense of intimacy and elegance.
