Manskop, neerziend 1809 - 1869

"Manskop, neerziend" (1809 - 1869) is a graphite drawing by Alexander Cranendoncq (1799 - 1869) now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work depicts the head and shoulders of an individual, likely a man, with a furrowed brow and a thoughtful expression. The artist utilizes subtle shading to create a sense of volume and depth in the portrait. The drawing is a study of facial features and a testament to the artist's skill in capturing human likeness.
