Portret van een onbekende jongen 1885 - 1931

"Portret van een onbekende jongen" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Frederika Henriëtte Broeksmit. It was created between 1885 and 1931 and measures 441 mm in height and 288 mm in width. This portrait depicts the bust of an anonymous young man, shown from the chest up, looking to his right, with a thoughtful expression on his face. The subject is rendered in a realistic style, with careful attention to detail in the features and the texture of the clothing. The charcoal lines are bold and expressive, creating a sense of depth and emotion. The artwork's loose, gestural style is reminiscent of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist techniques, which were prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
