Portret van Arend Bakker 1825 - 1861

This graphite drawing, "Portret van Arend Bakker," is a realistic portrait by Dutch artist Jacobus Everhardus Josephus van den Berg. Created between 1825 and 1861, it showcases van den Berg's skill in capturing the likeness of his subject, Arend Bakker, with delicate lines and subtle shading. Bakker's features are rendered with detail, particularly his gaze, which suggests a contemplative nature. The work is an excellent example of 19th-century portraiture, emphasizing the individual's personality through naturalistic depictions.
