Portret van Humbert de Superville 1851

This etching, *Portret van Humbert de Superville* (1851) by Jacobus Ludovicus Cornet, is a portrait of a man seated in a dimly lit room. The subject's face is illuminated by the soft light of a candle on a nearby table, while the rest of the scene is shrouded in shadow. The use of chiaroscuro highlights the man's features and creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work is characteristic of Cornet's style, known for its use of realism and psychological insight in portraying his subjects. The portrait is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
