Portret van Peter Paul Rubens 1894

Henri de Groux's 1894 etching, *Portret van Peter Paul Rubens*, is a striking portrait of the famous Flemish painter. The artwork depicts Rubens in a three-quarter view, with a dark background that emphasizes his prominent features. The artist utilizes shading and texture to create a sense of depth and volume, enhancing the realism of the portrait. De Groux's print pays homage to Rubens, a prominent figure in the history of art, and serves as a testament to his mastery of the etching technique. The etching has a formal and dignified tone, typical of portraiture of the time, and is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century art.
