"Portret van de heer Priessnitz" is a portrait of an unidentified man by an unknown artist. The lithograph, created between 1827 and 1909, showcases the man's likeness in a formal, almost solemn manner, making it a prime example of 19th-century portraiture. Though the artist remains unknown, this work provides a glimpse into the artistic practices and conventions of the time, while also preserving the memory of the sitter, Mr. Priessnitz, for posterity. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, holds historical and artistic value as a testament to the rich tradition of portraiture in the Netherlands.
