Portret van een onbekende man 1919

"Portret van een onbekende man" is a 1919 lithograph by Dutch artist Willem Adrianus Grondhout, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The portrait depicts an unnamed man in a three-quarter profile, with the sitter's gaze looking slightly to the right. Grondhout uses a striking contrast of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism, with the sitter's beard and mustache rendered with meticulous detail. The artwork is a striking example of Grondhout's ability to capture the essence of a subject in a single, powerful image.
