Buste van een man 1720 - 1792

Aert Schouman's "Buste van een man" is a small-scale, detailed etching created between 1720 and 1792. The etching portrays a close-up view of a man's head and shoulders, focusing on his expressive face. Schouman, born in 1710, was a prominent Dutch artist known for his portraiture and etchings. This piece, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies his meticulous technique and ability to capture likeness through subtle lines and shading.
