Silhouetportret van Sijo Kornelius Thoden van Velzen 1809 - 1848

This silhouette portrait of Sijo Kornelius Thoden van Velzen was created by Pieter (IV) Barbiers, a Dutch artist known for his silhouette art. Created in the early 19th century, the piece displays the subject in profile, emphasizing their distinct features and fashionable attire. The stark contrast of black and white creates a dramatic effect, highlighting the subject's silhouette against a plain background. This work is a fine example of the silhouette genre, a popular art form in the 18th and 19th centuries.
