Portret van J.C. Emeis Possibly 1854

"Portret van J.C. Emeis" (1854) is a lithograph portrait by German artist Johann Peter Berghaus. The artwork depicts a man standing behind a counter. It appears to be a portrait of a pharmacist, J.C. Emeis, based on the handwritten inscription at the bottom of the page. This portrait highlights Berghaus' skills in capturing realistic detail in his subjects, exemplified in Emeis's clothing and the surrounding pharmacy setting. The lithograph is a testament to the artistic quality of this popular printmaking medium during the 19th century. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and measures 360 mm in height and 280 mm in width.
