Mansportret: buste, het hoofd driekwart naar links 1730

Olof Arenius’ 1730 drawing “Mansportret: buste, het hoofd driekwart naar links” is a graphite portrait of a man’s bust. The subject has long, wavy hair and is looking slightly to the left, with his head tilted slightly. The artist used hatching to create volume and texture in the subject's hair and clothing. The artwork, with its intimate scale and subtle details, offers a glimpse into the artist's ability to capture the essence of a person with a delicate and nuanced approach.
