Portret van onbekende heer 1774 - 1837

This charcoal drawing by English artist Charles Howard Hodges, titled *Portret van onbekende heer*, depicts an unknown gentleman in a formal portrait. The artwork, dated between 1774 and 1837, is a fine example of Hodges' skilled draughtsmanship and his ability to capture likeness in his portraiture. The subtle shading and detail highlight the subject's features and clothing. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the style and fashion of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
