Portret van een man met uitgestoken hand 1710 - 1772

"Portret van een man met uitgestoken hand" is a charcoal drawing by Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot. The artwork is a portrait of a man, possibly a self-portrait, whose face is visible in the center, with a large cloak obscuring much of his body and only his outstretched hand showing. The subject's face appears to be slightly distorted, and the artist used subtle shading to create a sense of depth and texture in the drawing. Van Reysschoot was active in the 18th century and his work is often characterized by his realistic style, emphasizing fine detail and observation. This drawing exemplifies his skill and attention to anatomical form and expression, evident in the way he captured the man's subtle gaze.
